So, is there a "Tech Writers in Agile Dev" mailing list? I'm a member of the Agile Usability one but haven't, yet, stumbled across a scrum of writers (sorry!).

My perspective differs somewhat from what I've seen so far in the discussion. I've been working in and with agile development groups as a writer or doc manager since late in the last century. When I first heard about agile, I thought it was the devil's spawn, but it hasn't turned out that way at all. In my experience, a writer in a well-run agile environment can be involved from day one of the first iteration all the way through to delivery of a final product -- and not just writing and rewriting the same stuff over and over again. In fact, I find that I don't spend as much time writing as I once did. However, as an integral part of the development organization, I have no shortage of interesting and impactful (terrible word) tasks on my plate. As a side note, I'm a certified (and very interested) scrum master. ...Susan ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ This email (and any attachments) is private and confidential, and is intended solely for the addressee.
