Shufrans TechDocs’ Post

"This issue is so complex and insidious, surely it's going to be a beast to solve!" I don't know how often you fall into this thought trap but I get caught up in it more than I'd like to admit. Today, however, a simple solution was so obvious I couldn't help but follow it, and I'm here to remind you of this same lesson I keep learning. ✨ I've been struggling for a while with this feeling that 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨'𝘴 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘧𝘧 in my body of documentation, but I haven't been able to put my finger on it. Until now. You see, I've been working my way through the JPDocu School of Technical Writing's course on 𝗨𝗫 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗪𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 as a way to revisit my IA basics now that I've been filling that role for a few years. As the instructor was introducing the concept of open card sorting (which, of course, is familiar in one guise or another to anyone in information design or documentation) it clicked - there was my answer! 20 minutes and about 40 post-it notes later, I had not only identified but resolved the cause of that "off" feeling that had been plaguing me for so long, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘺 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵 𝘥𝘰𝘤𝘶𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘪𝘵. It still amazes me how often these basic exercises can hold the answers to our problems. It's tempting to write them off in favor of more complex or sophisticated tools or processes, because it feels like complicated problems require complicated solutions. So here's my reminder for today: 𝗧𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 "𝘁𝗼𝗼 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲" 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂.
