It is standard practice for technical writing teams to link a ticket to all pull requests. Writers, like developers, typically work on multiple pull requests in the same sprint.

If you're not familiar with Docs As Code, I highly recommend giving this a look for some of the current trends and ideas circulating among the technical writing community: https://www.writethedocs.org/guide/docs-as-code/

An example: would a developer publish code without knowing what ticket relates to that code? Nope. Same with current crop of technical writers.

Yes? I don't track a pretty significant amount of my work via tickets because I'm working on it largely solo and I have a direct line to all stakeholders to update them.

And I am not a technical writer, but I do technical writing, and I find breaking flow to juggle tickets a great way to get me to not do that documentation work because the opportunity cost of the context switch is high.
