Barker Chapter 6

In Chapter 6 of the Barker book, we read about "Planning and Writing your Documents." Chapter 6 talks about Development teams, Writing teams, and a lot of task management. Like usual, this chapter combined a lot of common sense methods with actual ways to carry it out. I found the "Documentation Plan" section from page 207 to be very interesting. Barker says that you can carry out all of your ideas by "the power of your personality, your charismatic leadership, your gift for higher math, and your financial savvy." Or, Barker says, you can use management plans as your "genious." As long as you have a reason for your documentation plans and you set aside clear tasks for everybody - your plans will work just fine. To me, Barker is saying that even though some people may have more charisma or personality, they might not be the best at planning these processes. Form a plan and stick to it - and it will all come together in the end.
