description
In this presentation at DITA Europe 2012, I try to outline a new paradigm for thinking about change impact in heavy reuse environments. I take my inspiration from the world of CAD engineering, which has been working with large numbers of reuse items and heavy interdependencies between those items for decades. Possbily, documentation designers need to start learning something from CAD engineering best practices.
