8 Strategies for Effective Writers Every document is unique so there's no one size fits all! Here are some practices you can apply!

1. Assignment and Alignment Consider who will be the reader and what their interests/needs are.

Provide an outline of the document and align with decisionmakers on scope and key contents.

4. Use Clear Messaging and Plain Language
2. 80/20 Rule Contents should be clear, to the point, and add value.

Use a graded approach to determining quality expectations, depending on the document type.

7. Peer Review
5. Diverse Views Obtain a peer review to gain fresh perspective and feedback.

Consider and include views from all relevant stakeholders early in the development process.

8. Early Review
