<mainDescription>&lt;p>&#xD;
User documentation might include all or parts of user manuals (electronic or paper-based), tutorials, frequently asked&#xD;
questions (FAQs), on-line Help Files, installation instructions, operational procedures, etc. User documentation often&#xD;
is used as the basis for training materials - if the documentation is of poor quality, the training materials might not&#xD;
be any better.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
Without good user documentation, a system might be well developed by a development team but might not meet the End&#xD;
User's expectations because they will not be able operate the application effectively.&#xD;

<sectionDescription>Re-use whatever material you can from the product documentation that your team has created. If adequate time and attention&#xD;
was given to product documentation, you should be able to leverage a significant amount of it to develop the user&#xD;
documentation. Because only features (and possibly some nonfunctional requirements) were documented for the product, only&#xD;
that amount can be leveraged. However, it often provides a nice framework for the user documentation.</sectionDescription>

<sectionDescription>&lt;p>&#xD;
Other materials developed in the course of the Release might provide excellent input into the user documentation such&#xD;
as:&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;ul>&#xD;
&lt;li>&#xD;
User Stories&#xD;
&lt;/li>&#xD;

Test Cases&#xD;

Each of these may contain content that you do not need to re-create. Use your imagination to find other source&#xD;
materials that can help your team document the system for end users.&#xD;

<sectionDescription>Based on the previous steps, write the user documentation. One way to do this is to assign sections of the document&#xD;
(described in the step &quot;Determine User Documentation Contents&quot; above) to Development team members as Sprint/Iteration Tasks&#xD;
in the Release Sprint/Iteration.</sectionDescription>
