Technical Communication

Asking Good Technical Questions

A good technical question is a question that is specific, provides context, shows initiative toward resolving the problem, and kindly asks for input.

A bad technical question is a question that is vague, lacks context, and doesn't show any initiative toward solving the problem.

Writing a Good Technical Question

Hey everyone! I just had a quick question.

I'm working on this...

When I do this... I get this... but I'm expecting this...

I've checked this... and didn't have much luck. Does anyone happen to know what might be causing this?

Much appreciated!
