  1. What does this software do?

    If you can’t fully answer this simple question then your software project is in trouble.  A clear list of requirements should always be on hand and easily referenced.

    The truth is that the vast majority of software endeavors don’t document anything at all.  If you can’t clearly state what your software does then you should race to find the right answer.
