Technical Documentation Without the Pain
Technical docs are crucial but tedious. Here is how to generate the first draft automatically and focus on what matters.
The Technical Documentation Dilemma
Good technical documentation is essential. Engineers need it. Integrators need it. Partners need it. Writing it is the last thing anyone wants to do.
What Technical Docs Require
Technical documentation needs accuracy, completeness, and currency. Outdated or incorrect docs are worse than no docs.
This is exactly why manual documentation fails. It takes too long, gets deprioritized, and falls out of sync.
Automate the First Draft
FastDoc Technical Doc template generates structured documentation from Jira issues. It captures:
- Implementation details
- API changes
- Breaking changes and migration paths
- Configuration options
The Review-First Workflow
Automation does not mean no review. It means engineers review and refine instead of create from scratch.
Step 1: FastDoc generates draft from issues
Step 2: Engineer reviews for accuracy
Step 3: Technical writer polishes
Step 4: Published to docs site
Keeping Docs Current
Set up automation to regenerate technical docs when relevant issues close. Docs stay in sync with the code.
The alternative remembering to update docs manually does not work. Automation does.
