Putting Questions To Your SME |
Subject matter expert (SME) is the person who knows a lot about a particular process, application, activity, etc. Technical writer (TW) is a person who knows how to present the matter gathered in a presentable, readable, and understandable way to the reader. The expert can be anybody (your Project Manager, Team Leader, Clerk, Cashier, etc) who can tell or teach you something which you do not know. S/he can make you understand the complicated topics while teaching you the whole thing in his/her own technical jargon. However, you as a writer should know and understand both the technical stuff and the jargon the expert has been using and in turn use the same stuff to explain the critical concepts to your reader minus the technicalities and the complicated jargon.
