Lightning Talk: Doodling for Great Success
summary
Claims that simple sketches improve technical communication and that anyone can do them using emojis or basic shapes. Uses the vivid grammar graph framework to break documentation into who what how much where when how many and why, then draws portraits and maps and timelines (skipping charts when irrelevant). Applies the method to an Engine Yard deployment guide, replaces pure text with annotated sketches, and reports the converted document works — "great success."
