Effective documentation is accurate, accessible, and timely. It provides only the information (content) that the target audience needs. that information has been verified, is easy to find and understand, and is delivered in a convenient format and when the audience needs it.

What are the warning signs that your documentation isn't hitting the mark? Your customers question whether they are your priority. Perhaps the content you are delivering is not easy to find or easy to understand; perhaps it is delivered in an inconvenient format. Your customers have begun to question your expertise or reliability; the content you are delivering may be inaccurate. Perhaps you have experienced high call volume in customer support, or your managers may have experienced an increase in questions regarding policies and procedures—lack of clarity is clearly costly.
