Question

Have you ever had to compile the feedback from multiple sources into one document?

92% of respondents said yes, but the comments show that those compiling feedback find it painful and inefficient, and would prefer to gather feedback using a shared, collaborative platform like a wiki.

Survey Comments

• It’s a major source of effort, pain, and grief.

• This is the pain in what a technical writer has to do. Now, I’m trying to avoid that by getting people to collaborate on reviewing docs using a Wiki.
• I go out of my way to avoid this.
