How many pages can a technical writer produce in x amount of time? It depends. If you've been with your current employer for a while and you've already completed several projects (manuals), then you could gather metrics from what you've already produced to create an average hours-per-page formula.

Is anyone aware of a formula for how many words/pages a Tech Writer can produce in a given period of time? I am being asked to take on additional manuals and upper management wants some numbers to justify additional head count that will be needed. I can probably come up with an estimate based on what we produce today, but I was wondering if some kind of standard already exists.
