What are some of the steps you take to create exceptional technical documents?

"Like most technical writers, when working on a project, I move through the project life cycle of requirements, research, writing, reviewing and editing, and acceptance by the client. One of the things I do differently and what I feel makes me unique is the emphasis I put on collaborating with the project stakeholders to clearly understand their desired outcomes and the requirements for the project. I also spend more time researching than usual, so I clearly understand the subject matter and become comfortable writing about it. The last thing I do is meticulously check my spelling, grammar, and punctuation to ensure that the document is error-free. Together, these steps result in technical documents that meet the industry's highest standards, contain no errors, and are completed with minimal rewrites and edits."
