5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Reference!, May 8, 2000

Robert Schumacher "belgaschu" (Wheaton, Illinois) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Procedure Writing: Principles and Practices (Paperback)

I have spent a good part of my career focused on communicating procedures accurately, and teaching others to write good procedures. Wieringa, et al have produced an exceptional roadmap. I use it; I've encouraged lots of other people to use it. This is outstanding work. I highly recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars great resource for basic and complicated procedures, April 1, 2003

pkeahi (the great northwest, usa) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Procedure Writing: Principles and Practices (Paperback)

I love this book. Packed full of info, it's a great reference. Starts with basic info like planning and testing; writing info like syntax, vocabulary, level of detail. Has lots of good format/style info. Writing complex steps section includes conditional statements, logic tables, flow charts, and more.

The writers take their own advice and use simple, direct language that makes it easy to soak in the info.

I'm a technical writer for telephony and high-speed network deployment, where details count. I still refer to this when I get stuck on a procedure. A friend borrowed the book to help her write procedures for the corporate mailroom she manages. I had a hard time getting it back from her.

2.0 out of 5 stars What detail level are you writing your procedures?, March 11, 2000

Jim (USA, California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Procedure Writing: Principles and Practices (Paperback)

I found this book to be written for someone that is at a very detailed level of writing procedures. If you are just writing general department procedures this book may not be for you.
