Broadcasting your meeting notes (API documentation topic)

A few months ago I added a topic to my API doc course called Sending doc status reports – a tool for visibility and relationship building. Another tool for accomplishing a similar purpose -- that of making others in your company aware of documentation processes, newly published articles, how to work with your team, etc. -- is to broadcast your meeting notes after each meeting. Although sharing meeting notes with meeting participants after the meeting isn’t anything new, with a few small adjustments, it can be a powerful way to influence those around you. Read more here: Broadcasting your meeting notes to influence a wider audience.

(Admittedly, this topic isn’t specific to API docs. However, I have an entire section on processes and methodology in the course, and I think this topic fiets nicely into that section.)

About Tom Johnson

Tom Johnson

I'm an API technical writer based in the Seattle area. On this blog, I write about topics related to technical writing and communication — such as software documentation, API documentation, AI, information architecture, content strategy, writing processes, agent skills, tech comm careers, and more. Check out my AI courses for more on the latest in AI and tech comm. If you're looking for info about documenting APIs, see my API documentation course.

If you're a technical writer and want to keep on top of the latest trends in tech comm, be sure to subscribe to email updates below. You can also learn more about me or contact me.

Finally, I want to note a couple of things. I usually write the first drafts of my posts myself and then use AI to improve accuracy, clarity, and detail in places, so my writing is a mix of human and AI. (Hopefully that's not too off-putting.) Also, the opinions I express on my blog are my own perspectives, not those of my employer.
