I offer to help write the specs and design the product... When you're
part of the design team, there's less chance of surprises. Get in at
the beginning, and you offer a lot more to the product development
effort. Makes user support and documentation a whole lot easier too...

Hi all,
Thanks for the responses so far. Forgive me for refining my question.
Perhaps I didn't couch it in the right terms to start with.
We too here use everything that is available to us. What I'm most
interested to know is of those that have access to specifications, how
complete are they? Are they minimal? Do they at least describe every
function? Are they packed full of useful information? Or do you
sometimes find yourself coming up to a deadline and suddenly realising
that there are sections of the product unknown to you because you lacked
the information to ask the right questions?
