Information quality  
Nortel technical documents are tested by subject matter experts (SMEs)  
throughout the product development lifecycle. SMEs from Design, Product  
Verification (PV), Product Line Management (PLM), Verification Office  
(VO), and Global Network Product Support (GNPS), all contribute to  
document quality.  
Nortel releases technical documents in the early stages of development  
that have not completed all testing milestones, on a limited basis.  
Documents that have not completed testing bear a Draft watermark on  
every page to indicate that the content they contain may change as the  
product is refined and document testing is completed. Draft documents are  
not widely available.

Modular, task-based information  
Modular, task-based information (MTBI) is a quick reference for using the  
Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series task-based documentation.  
MTBI describes the structure of task-based information and how it can be  
used most effectively.

Task-based documentation  
Task-based documentation is a new way of packaging customer  
information in a structured, modular, task-centric format.  
Task-based documentation focuses on what the user must do and the  
sequence in which to perform tasks.  
The goal is to make Nortel documentation easy to find, easy to use, timely,  
and accurate.  
The following figure describes the relationship between work flows, task  
flows, and procedures.

26 Modular, task-based information  
How to use task-based documentation  
In task-based documentation, procedural information is included in the  
document. Conceptual and reference information is provided, and the user  
is guided on how to use conceptual and reference material by identified  
prerequisites or direct links and references.  
The user navigates the information by following the flows that are provided  
for tasks and procedures.  
Task flow overview  
Task flows are flowcharts that illustrate which procedures and decisions  
are involved to complete an activity.

Work flows, task flows, and procedures 27  
The task flows guide you through activities to use the Nortel Ethernet  
Routing Switch 2500 Series, whether it is configuration, upgrading,  
installation, maintenance, or troubleshooting.  
Each flow provides the prerequisites and links to the tasks or procedures.  
To perform or refer to a procedure, always follow the task flow. Following  
the task flows ensures that you meet all the requirements for successful  
completion of the task.  
Work flows, task flows, and procedures  
Work flows, task flows, and procedures have similar elements to maintain  
consistency and usability. Each of the following sections have a specific  
function:  
To understand the relationship between work flows, task flows, and  
procedures, see Work flows, task flows, and procedures in task-based  
documentation.  
Purpose statements  
Purpose statements explain why or when you would perform a work flow,  
task, or procedure and impact.  
Prerequisites  
Prerequisites list everything you must do or understand before you  
start the workflow, task, or procedure. Prerequisites can include tasks  
that should already be completed, risks, confirmation of system status,  
required knowledge, time estimates or limitations, and links to supporting  
information.  
The prerequisite section is omitted if no required prerequisites exist.  
Work flows or task flows  
This section is the flow chart diagram that represents the task flow with  
navigational links to the tasks or procedures in the flow.

28 Modular, task-based information  
Procedure steps  
Procedures provide numerical steps that help you perform the procedure.  
Each step is a single action.  
Example procedures  
Some procedures use examples to show how to correctly perform the  
procedure with realistic settings.  
Variable definitions  
Variable definitions provide the possible values, ranges, or definitions of  
variables used in the procedure steps.  
If variables are not used in the procedure, then the variables definition  
section is omitted.  
Job aid  
Job aids provide information help to successfully perform the procedure.  
The job aid is only used when required.  
Task-based documentation terms  
The following table describes task-based documentation terms.  
Term  
Description  
Work flow  
Task or task flow  
A high or top-level group of tasks.  
A logical group of procedures  
represented as a single action in a  
flowchart diagram. Complex tasks  
can be divided into simpler tasks or  
subtasks.  
Procedure  
Step  
A logical group of single action steps  
in a task.  
A single action performed in a  
procedure.  
Variable  
A placeholder in procedure steps  
representing a value or definition.  
Restructuring Nortel technical documents into a task-based format is an  
ongoing initiative. The documentation for some Nortel products is already  
converted to the new format.
