Dev Portal User Guide

Description

This user guide documents all features and functionalities of my employer's dev portal, with continuous updates as needed.

Problem

Previously, my employer, a Boston-area software company, lacked user documentation for its dev portal. The portal enables developers to request sandbox and production access to the company’s product, reset client secrets, and access documentation. In the absence of formal documentation, customer service and support staff handled numerous repetitive inquiries via email and support tickets.

Contribution

I collaborated with internal developers, subject matter experts (SMEs), and marketing specialists to draft the first version of a comprehensive user manual covering all portal features. This is a living document, updated by the documentation team with each new release.

Impact

The guide significantly reduced routine support tickets and email inquiries about the portal. Customers responded positively, with one remarking, "This is exactly what we needed!"
