A little bit about the role...
|
|
</h2>
|
|
<p>Trilogy is the parent company of many other companies, and the list keeps growing.</p>
|
|
<ul class="companies">
|
|
<li>Aurea</li>
|
|
<li>Playbooks</li>
|
|
<li>Skyvera</li>
|
|
<li>DevGraph</li>

<li>Savvion</li>
|
|
<li>Actional</li>
|
|
<li>...and more</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Chiefly, Trilogy manages all of these companies under the banner of a Central Support Team, consisting of L1 and L2 support agents.</p>
|
|
<p>Above the support agents are the <strong>Product Knowledge Curators.</strong></p>
|
|
<p>This role is also promoted as a <strong>Senior Technical Writer</strong> position, due to the nature of the work being performed by the PKCs.</p>
|
|
<p>This was a full-time contract position, with hiring, interviewing, productivity tracking, and weekly payments handled through the Crossover for Work platform (owned by Trilogy).</p>

<h3 class="subtitle">Being a quick learner.</h3>
|
|
<p>Being responsible for several products under the banner of Central Support meant that I have to quickly and rapidly learn new products with limited information.</p>

<section id="problem-solving">

<h3 class="subtitle">Analyzing real problems from real customers.</h3>
|
|
<p>I was tasked with reading customer support tickets one by one, in order to document the problems and solutions faced by actual customers.</p>

<section id="writing-articles">
|
|
<h3 class="subtitle">Writing clear and concise articles.</h3>
|
|
<p>After reading each ticket, I had to write two different types of articles:</p>

<p class="card__text">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.</p>

<section class="card" id="tkb">
|

<h4 class="card__title">Troubleshooting Articles</h4>
|

<p class="card__text">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.</p>

<section id="tnc">

<h3 class="subtitle">Training and certifying support agents.</h3>
|
|
<p>Based on the amassed product knowledge within the articles written throughout the above process, I created training units within a learning management system, consisting of either a test or a task based on each article/ticket pair.</p>
