Project context: As a technical writer on Amazon’s Developer Experience team on a 3-month contract, I was tasked with rewriting multiple onboarding and API docs.
Problems to solve: The previous Postman runbook had several outdated configuraton details, and did not guide readers through the non-intuitive steps in the Postman UI. The reader needed to be instructed to choose the right Postman product and understand the security issues with using the cloud product.
Process for this document: I tried all steps to look for points of confusion, and as a result made extensive use of screenshots. I removed unnecessary reference-style information.
Audience: The audiences for the onboarding docs are internal Amazon engineers and third party developers.
