🧰 The Glossary Playbook — from meaning to management When I finished writing Decoding the Code: The Glossary (which you can read here: https://lnkd.in/eWCfBvT4), I realised something: understanding the theory is one thing — applying it inside a company is a whole different game. So I built a usable Glossary Playbook — a practical 22-page set of templates, checklists, and examples that turn theory into operations (with a real sample based on 10 core definitions). It includes: 🧩 a structure for Core + Overlay glossaries, ⚙️ ready filters for Materiality / Disputability / Drift, 📑 sample definitions for high-risk “drift magnets,” 🔍 a simple intake workflow you can plug into CLM or Notion. It’s short, actionable, and built from real projects — not academic notes. Because once meaning is managed, legal design stops being theory and becomes infrastructure. If you’d like to get it, comment “playbook” and connect — I’ll send it directly. (And yes, it’s free — for now 😉 so hurry up!)

🔍 What does it take to simplify complex product documentation? 👇 Click below to try it yourself: https://lnkd.in/eSKr7CJ3 At Docurail, we believe documentation should work — not just sit in a folder. It should guide, clarify, and scale effortlessly with the teams that rely on it. One of the ways we’re proving that is through interactive test packs that bring product logic, structure, and accuracy into one seamless experience. Take a look at this ALO Pack Cover, it’s a simple example of the kind of smart, scalable documentation tools we build at Docurail. Whether you're building for compliance, quality, or scale — we’re here to make documentation a strategic asset, not a bottleneck. Curious how this could apply to your product? Let’s connect.

WCAG 2.1 AA provides a shared, testable standard for accessible content and tools. Use it as a design target, not a checkbox exercise. Map common course tasks (read, watch, participate, submit) to relevant success criteria, and track your evidence for each. Where native tools fall short, document workarounds and raise issues with vendors. Impact: reduced legal risk, better learner experience, and a culture of inclusion. Conduct periodic reviews, prioritize fixes with the highest learner impact, and publish your accessibility statement so commitments are visible and accountable. #Accessibility #BrickfieldTips #UDL #InclusiveDesign

"Let's wait on the docs, it’s all changing soon....." "We probs don't need to worry about the docs right now since it's all self-explanatory......" But really, we know the truth, and it's just an excuse to save time (and money). If your users can't use your product, it doesn't matter how elegant it is. I've seen too many teams delay documentation, thinking the product is clear enough to use (be it code or a machine). Then users arrive and... they’re fooked and pretty annoyed. Docs aren’t about explaining the product to users. It’s about enabling users to accomplish THEIR goals using YOUR product. Your users don't want to read your docs AT ALL, in fact. They want to translate their problem using your solution. Last words on this thought…. Start documenting early, capture everything, and put yourself in the user's shoes. Your future users ( and your customer success teams) will thank you. #Technicalwriting #Softwaredevelopment

Documentation ages faster than code now. New features get shipped, workflows evolve, and the original reasoning fades into commit messages and Slack threads. By the time someone goes looking for clarity, the docs are technically correct but contextually obsolete, a snapshot of a system that no longer exists quite that way. Maybe the answer isn’t more documentation, but closer documentation. The kind that lives next to the code, next to the decision, next to the moment it mattered. The way to resolve this issue might be to treat documentation as conversation instead of archive. Let it evolve in the same rhythm as the work lighter, more continuous, more visible in daily flow. When decisions live where people already look pull requests, design docs, short internal notes context stops expiring so quickly. Documentation stays alive when it’s written for the present tense, not for posterity.

Most technical writers build documentation around assumptions. They assume users need detailed API references, want exhaustive tutorials, or will read every section in order. But assumptions often fail, and user behavior tells a different story. User research is the clearest way to uncover that behavior. In this post, I explain what user research is and how to conduct it for documentation: https://lnkd.in/dPg9KYEN
