Join us at the STC Toronto’s Management Day on February 26 to learn three ways to work and communicate more effectively.
Be Agile
Learn some common strategies for integrating documentation activities into the software development cycle from Agile development advocate and coach, Michael Sahota. Doing it faster can mean doing it better.
Consider users
Learn about user‐centred development and how information developers can help to define the user experience. Qualicom Innovation’s User Experience Manager, Stephen Chalastra, will describe how interface design, the user experience, and technical communication fit together.
Improve content through reuse
Learn how to improve your content through reuse, and what to consider when shopping for technology to support your content reuse strategy. Pamela Kostur (Parallax Communications), Bryan Lynn (ThirtySix Software), and Jacques Fauteux (Front Runner Training) combine their content reuse expertise to help you plan your foray into reuse.
Get free software and win prizes!
All attendees will receive a free trial copy of SmartDocs Lite, an MS Word add‐in that integrates the power of content reuse in the Word environment, and will be entered to win one of three content reuse packages, including a content reuse consultation, a full SmartDocs license for one year, and SmartDocs training. Other door prizes include Agile and Lean software process consulting.
