Webinar: The Doc Side of Agile Documentation

Tuesday, April 13. 12:00-1:00 PM. Free to members and non-members.

Using any web browser, you can search for the term “agile software development” and receive a list of hits a mile long. Most of this information is very relevant if you are a member of management or a software developer. However, the bulk of that information is not relevant if you are looking at agile software development from a documentation perspective.

During this webinar we will address the following topics:

•the key concepts of agile software development
•the differences between waterfall software development and agile software development methodologies
•the composition of agile teams
•the meeting dilemma
•a look at CSG’s agile software development implementation
•the technical communicator’s role on CSG’s agile software development teams
•tips for working on agile software development teams
•a list of other resources

Deb Lockwood is an STC Associate Fellow and a volunteer with the STC Rocky Mountain chapter, currently serving as the chapter’s treasurer and mentoring manager. She is a lead content developer for CSG Systems, Inc., in Westminster, CO, where she writes software documentation. Deb holds a master’s degree in Applied Communication (Technical Writing) from the University of Denver and a bachelor’s degree in Management from Regis University.

During Deb’s 13-year career at CSG she has written guides, online help, and training materials directed toward varying audiences, and has worked with software developers using both waterfall software development and agile software development methodologies. In her spare time, Deb runs a job search networking group and performs with a vocal quartet.
