Making your content design documentation work for you

Wednesday 20 March 2024, 16:00 UTC, Stage 1

Content designers need solid documentation to support decisions and team collaboration, despite challenges. This talk offers scalable documentation strategies to optimise workflow efficiency.

Documentation isn’t just for developers. As content designers, we need to have robust documentation practices to help us defend our design decisions and deliver work in cross-functional teams. Yet all too often, we can find it difficult to balance the demands of our roles with the need to record the work that we do (and the reasons why we do it).

This talk will give you tips and ideas on how to set up scaleable content design documentation templates. Make your documentation work for you, not the other way around!
