I am prepping a two-day workshop that will be an introduction to content strategy and content management.
The audience for the workshop will be either writers or developers who have some familiarity with writing, document management, and databases. They may not know much about content strategy, and they may not have a birds-eye view of how a web CMS or enterprise CMS works.
I'm writing to ask what topics you would expect to see covered in a workshop about CS and CMS?

Related: What writers should ask for in a CMS. I seem to have a knack
for working in places that don't have a CMS, and many of the writers
have no idea about what would make a CMS more useful for them, or how
to ask for (or demand) that from the people responsible for deciding
on and setting up the CMS of choice.

A small overview of why home grown cms platforms grow to suck over time. Buy something (or get some open source) built and fit for purpose, even I'd you have devs. Topic title: the (many) risks of reinventing the wheel.

One thing that would be really useful: Some discussion of how writers
and devs can communicate better with each other. In my experience,
writers don't feel like it's necessary to talk with devs, and vice
versa. Some introduction into how they can make each other's jobs
easier would be terrific.

I'm highly interested in this workshop and the requests so far are in line with what I'd like to see covered. When is the workshop and how much is it?

You may want to review/reinforce online writing tips -- for example,
there's an art to writing headlines so that they are compelling and
also clear when they're separated from the content (on landing pages,
in RSS feeds or social media channels, etc.)
Best,
Hilary

James et al: I read with interest the discussion on what should be
covered in a content management workshop. You had mentioned that you
thought it was important for writers to know what to ask for in a
CMS.
I would love to hear your thoughts on this subject. I'm on a project
now where I need to provide input in setting up a CMS, and it would be
most helpful to get some perspectives from this group.
thanks,
