Joseph’s Answer
Working as a writer in Silicon Valley for companies like Apple and Yahoo, I've learned that asking the right questions is key to getting the right answers. This helps me provide the best information.
Who am I writing for? My audience might be end users, software developers or system administrators. Each group has specific goals,need, and interests that I must address.
What am I writing about? I need to provide information that helps the audience achieve their goal, needs., and interests
Where do I share this information? I organize the content clearly so that the audience can easily find and use the information.
When do I share the information? I present the information in a logical order that aligns with the audience's goals, need, and interestss.
Why is this important? I explain the importance of the information in a way that connects with the audience's goals, needs, and interest
Examples:
An end user needs to know when to enter their username and password to log into an account.
A system administrator needs to know how to verify a username and password and handle errors if they don't match.
