​Writing well is an essential skill for anyone working on a software development team.

While making use of video, audio, images are all important, writing is the core and the glue that ties these together.

We write in chat, when creating user stories or raising bugs, when adding copy to your application, and when producing reference materials for customers.

Writing well means communicating effectively.

When you write well:

• You make asynchronous work more effective
• You reduce wasting of your and others' time
• You're creating a historical record of design decisions
• You're refining your product vision

​Spend a bit longer and prioritise writing well.

It will benefit your product in every way.
