The Writers Block (TWB) India’s leading provider of technical documentation outsourcing and training services releases a white paper on Program Management for Technical Documentation. While most deliveries are complex and require effective program management, outsourced program management for technical documentation has the additional challenge of being very closely coupled with a company’s product development lifecycle. TWB has management depth not only in program management but also in the context of complex technical documentation.

The white paper discusses the need for Program Management in general as research shows that poor Program Management could cost a company significant amounts in program recovery and opportunity costs resulting from delays. After initiating a program, it’s planning and development is extremely crucial to arrive at the predetermined outcomes. The white paper discusses at length factors integral to successful Program Management, including identifying adequate resources, identifying and documenting responsibilities, communicating with the team, establishing a procurement plan, establishing risk and reviewing plans. In the section on Program Development the paper discusses issues such as preparing for deliverables, monitoring and control, cost and risk management, change management and quality management.

The white paper identifies the different types of Program Management, the need for it and reasons for its failure. It then discusses the Program Management life cycle which consists of four stages namely Program Initiation, Program Planning, Program Development and Program Closure. The white paper then provides some pointers on better management of Technical Documentation.

The white paper on Program Management for Technical Documentation will help management ensure their plan is well developed and takes into consideration all eventualities.
