Technical writing is writing about a particular topic that requires direction, instruction, or explanation. It involves communicating complex information in a clear and concise manner to those who need it to accomplish a task or goal.

Technical writers often work with technical professionals and subject matter experts (SMEs) to ensure accuracy of deliverables.

Usage: Technical documentation is used in technical and occupational fields, such as computer hardware and software, architecture, engineering, chemistry, aeronautics, robotics, finance, medical, consumer electronics, biotechnology, and forestry.

Types of documentation: User guides, installation guides, configuration manuals, system administration guides, reference cheat-sheets, disaster recovery plans and procedures, data sheets, quick start-up guides, release notes. application programming interface (API) guides, training manuals, factory acceptance procedures and processes and workflow.

Audience: End-users or those purchasing products and services. Sometimes, “internal users” such as new employees, engineers, managers and support representatives.

Tech writers spend their time understanding ever-changing technology. They then translate procedures and tasks into simple language, that is simple enough for the average customer to follow and understand.
