As mentioned previously, a Software Documentation Solution must contain a structure for capturing a representation of your Software.

If the same documentation about a part of your software is repeated in more than one place, your documentation will soon get out of sync, and not be usable or reliable.

Some tools only allow part of your Software to be documented.  A true solution will allow every part of your Software System to be documented.

If your Software Documentation Solution is not fast and easy to use, it will make its adoption by your Software Teams very difficult.

When all of your questions about Software can be answered from a single source, it will be adopted and used, which is required for success.

Software documentation has to be reliable or people won't trust it, and won't use it.

Software documentation should be presented as close as possible to the graphical context of the software being documented.

One-stop shopping is the goal.  One place to find everything you need to know about your Software System.

Find the software area or documentation you are searching for quickly, via text searches.

With constant updates to your Software System, and your documentation, you must be able to review the history of changes.

A Documentation Solution must be continually used to create a strong demand for content being kept up to date.  

Every Software Documentation Solution must be secure and protect access to content both inside and outside the Organization.
