S1000D Readiness Assessment Checklist

Implementing S1000D is more than just installing tools or learning XML. It’s a phased transformation of how your organization creates, manages, and delivers technical content. To guide your assessment, we’ve structured this checklist around the natural S1000D workflow using the same stages successful teams follow as they move from planning to execution.

Scope Your Content
