Hello All,


I'm looking for a quick and easy transition to a more modern workflow to
help keep up with

software development. I've currently only authored in unstructured Frame
under a book

paradigm, and am finding it impossible to track development. Basically, we
have two writers

to support ~30 developers. The SW group has moved to an agile scrum process
and create

software features in modular form. Then they are checked into the SW pool
and tested by

another team who then publishes the FW releases to the Web team. The
testing takes about 1

to 2 weeks and some features may not get released. Also, we do not really
know when the SW

is released until it goes live (much of the process is automated and
decisions happen

overnight). Dev cycles are three weeks and the software is usually not
available until it

is checked in for testing since there are many dependencies.


I'd like to find a way to have content more modular and easy to snap-in/out
like the

software folks can switch on/off software features. I've thought of trying
this with

conditional text, but I think the complexity and granularity of what needs
to be controlled

is too high. I'd also like for the writing resources to be more agile so
they can work on

any document piece as needed. Right now, we move around and track "book"
packages and

publish PDF books with incrementing revisions.


Any suggestions on how to proceed or where to look for some ideas?


Thanks,

C
