Description / Abstract:
This clause presents the scope, purpose, organization, and
candidate uses of this International Standard.
This International Standard supports the interest of technical
writers and associated roles responsible for producing user
documentation for software and systems developed within an agile
environment. This International Standard takes a process standard
approach to specify the way in which user documentation can be
developed in agile development projects.
This International Standard provides requirements on information
management and documentation processes appropriate for software
projects that are using agile development methods.
Clause 5 covers the overall requirements for documentation in
the software life cycle.
Clause 6 describes how the information development lead or
project manager may plan and manage the user documentation
development team in an agile environment.
Clause 7 covers the relationship between the user documentation
process and life cycle documentation process in agile
development.
This International Standard is intended neither to encourage nor
to discourage the use of any particular agile development tools or
methods.
This International Standard provides guidance on processes
appropriate for developers of user documentation in software and
systems projects that are using agile development methodologies. It
will not be limited to the development phase of the life cycle of
user documentation, but includes activities throughout the user
documentation life cycle.
This International Standard is intended for use in all
organizations that are using agile development, or are considering
implementing their projects using these techniques. It is assumed
that users of this International Standard have experience or
general knowledge of traditional user documentation processes.
