Does the Agile Manifesto Cut Technical Writers Out of the Loop?

"I don’t think so :) " answers Sarah Maddox in her blog,  ffeathers — a technical writer’s blog

The preamble from the Manifesto for Agile Software Development:

We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value:

  • Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
  • Working software over comprehensive documentation
  • Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
  • Responding to change over following a plan

Sarah claims that "the technical writer’s role has become even more interesting, exciting and above all, valuable — that’s what I find, anyway, now that I’m working in an agile development shop."
