Productivity for Technical Documentation

The Method M team has radically improved the productivity of thousands of developers and hundreds of technical writers. Every day we help companies gain by improving technical document productivity.

• Information and content analysis:  Where is effort being wasted?  Can information be reused? How is information updated and delivered? Will content be translated? Are multiple product versions supported? 
• Plan for change:  Select tools. Build workflows that meet your needs. Train staff if needed.
• Implementation and delivery:  Method M supports your productivity and process improvement to delivery.
• Metrics:  You can't manage what you can't measure.  Method M helps you measure productivity gains.

Methodology - DITA and DITA Consciousness

The vast majority of product documents should be built from reusable document building blocks, enabling improved document accuracy, targeted documents with "just enough information" and mega savings in authoring, updating, engineering review and translation.

DITA is an architecture for enabling this Lego-like approach to technical documents.  Method M helps you dramatically win by implementing DITA and near-DITA methods on ALL documentation projects. (Get the Method M whitepaper: "What Managers Need to Know About DITA".)

DITA immersion workshop: now available. DITA consulting.

Single source: write/update once; reuse in many documents and deliver formats (PDF, Help, WebHelp, and more).

Translation: to all languages, ready for delivery.

Tools and Training: Method M supports your writers with best practice training, templates, implementation and more.
