Someone on quora asked:
What’s the best way to document coding projects so non-technical people can make sense of them?
It depends on what the purpose of the documentation for the non-technical people is
If you’re trying to convince them to try/buy your software, that’s marketing and copywriting, and you have to focus on feature sets and how it will be used by the end user
If it’s for users, to give instructions on how to use the software, typically developers will include some sort of user manual detailing the way to execute various tasks within the application
Regardless of the purpose, documentation written for nontechnical people will tend to focus on use cases and how the software satisfies requirements
