We are used to ePublisher being used to generate online help, building technical websites and even developing eLearning content. Recently we have been talking to a number of customers who use ePublisher as part of their agile software development process as a way to ensure consistent and on-time deliverables.

All of these are great examples of just some of the potential uses of ePublisher. Another application that we don’t talk about too much, but has been a consistent part of many customer conversations is Project Management.

Using ePublisher is a great way to collate and publish your project documentation into a variety of formats that can be used by every member of the team. As more and more project teams move to online collaboration tools such as wikis, then you can use the tools you are used to, such as Microsoft Word, FrameMaker or a DITA compliant XML editor to produce your Scope Documents, Resource & Staffing, Communication, Security, Test and Training plans. Then simply use ePublisher to deliver them to the online platform of your choice, making it easier to gather feedback, control and manage your project specific content.
