Zero. By the time we get to release of one product, engineering has
already been working on the code for the next release or newer,
better product. Plus, I manage a product which is developed out of
house.
In the 7 years I've been at my current position, there has NEVER
been any down time. Of course, not only do I write documentation,
but I also do a lot of hardware and software testing.
