Thanks, Peter...but between you and me, I've never experienced a failed
documentation project because 10 bullets was used. :-).

  Hi, guys...by end of today, I need to present to my manager a few bullet
  points for a presentation she is doing on Monday.

  The subject is: "What Causes Documentation to Fail"

  I've started with a few points:

     Not writing to a well-understood target audience
     Including too little or too much information
     Failure to bring documentation into the project early enough in the
     project
     Failure to establish a governance, review, and approval structure
     Lack of clear  roles and responsibilities
     Belief that “anyone can produce acceptable documentation”
     Lack of feedback early enough in the process to implement without
     wasting a large amount of work and/or affecting deadline
     Scope creep

  Anyone want to add more to the list?
