Yeah...scope.

-Who are you documenting for? Newbie?, Admin? Internal? External? All
of them? Once document or multiple documents?
-What is the purpose of the doc? To run the ap? To install the ap? To
have something with which to insult the user when they call for tech
support?
-Are there any add-on programs? My current application has three
utilities.
-What else are you including? Install? Troubleshoot? Errors?
-What is the form of delivery? Document? Web? Online Help? PDF?

I could go on and on...
