Abstract

Published documentation development processes clearly explain how to break up the process into parts and which parts to do when. What they do not explain is how to merge documentation and software development so that documentation rework and catch-up are minimized. They also do not explicitly account for developing a document from one version to the next, or how to integrate multiple authors into the development process.
