I had several responsibilities.

Being a quick learner.

Being responsible for several products under the banner of Central Support meant that I had to quickly and rapidly learn new products with limited information.

Analyzing real problems from real customers.

I was tasked with reading customer support tickets one by one, in order to document the problems and solutions faced by actual customers.

Writing clear and concise articles.

After reading each ticket, I would have to write two different types of articles:

Solution Articles

Solution articles are written to deal with a unique problem-solution pair. These articles contain an overview of the problem and its diagnosed symptoms, as well as the documented solution.

Troubleshooting Articles

Troubleshooting articles are based on troubleshooting steps within tickets that have the same symptoms, but multiple different possible solutions. These articles contain a flowchart with various steps.

Training and certifying support agents.

Based on the amassed product knowledge within the articles written throughout the above process, I would create training units within a learning management system, consisting of either a test or a task based on each article/ticket pair.
