Doc Requirements Matrix

Doc Requirements Matrix Skill

When to Use

• Intake from product, engineering, support, or compliance teams.
• Prioritizing doc requests against limited capacity.
• Tracking readiness requirements for launches or audits.

Framework

1. Request Intake – requester, audience, format, deadline, status, linked release.
2. Scoring Criteria – impact, urgency, compliance, audience reach, reuse potential.
3. Dependencies – SMEs, assets, tooling, localization, approvals.
4. Status Tracking – backlog → in progress → review → published → refresh queued.
5. Reporting – dashboards for open requests, SLA breaches, and effort allocation.

Templates

• Requirement intake form (Notion/Sheet) with scoring formula.
• Priority board with filters for audience, format, product area.
• Weekly review agenda highlighting top priorities + blockers.

Tips

• Align scoring weights with leadership priorities each quarter.
• Attach spec links, mockups, and SME contacts to reduce back-and-forth.
• Pair with plan-documentation-roadmap to auto-populate backlog sections.
