Chapter 17 discusses possible ways to
revise and improve documents and how to improve them in the most limited time.
I have followed several of the guidelines to identify the feasible ways to
improve a draft. I always read the draft at least twice to spot any changes
that needs to be done. A guideline that I can follow when revising the Detailed
Design is to shift focus each time when proof reading the drafts. This can be
separated into grammatical revision and quality check. One of the
guidelines that I need to work on is reading the draft from the reader’s
perspective. It is important to do this is identify how my communication might
impact the organization and their policies. I can accomplish this by reading the
draft out loud so that I can listen how it might sound to the reader and try to
improve the draft. It is also critical to consider if the reader might find
each section of the document persuasive and useful. Another guideline that I
follow for all my documents is using computer aids to check for possible errors.
I use spell checkers and grammar checkers to identify possible misspellings and
grammatical errors for my documents. In order to improve the detailed design, I
can also check for any mistakes missed by computer suggestions.
