Writing for Engineers vs Executives

Summary

The same feature needs two different documents — engineers need precision, edge cases and detail; executives need the headline, the 'why', and the business impact in three sentences.

• 1Take one feature idea and write both a 3-sentence exec summary and a detailed spec.
• 2Learn the 'inverted pyramid' style: lead with the conclusion, then the detail.
• 3Practice cutting your exec summary down until only the essential remains.
