Focus on the UX of technical documentation. Remember that they are consumed by people, not technology. Start thinking about doc from inception and include a tech writer role. Make sure the documentation is accessible when anyone picks it up. A documentation specialist's job is to capture, aggregate, sort and redistribute knowledge. Professionals think 9-5, M-F. It's not time management, its energy management. Cater to energy and communication styles.
