Two words - Use Cases. Flesh em out, all the tasks your software is used for
should be represented in its own use case, or a variant.

Scott, you are so right! Lots of manuals tell you how to use a certain
feature, but they don't tell you why. This is true for hardware as well. I
am trying to change this approach here as much as I can and on the few
things we already did, we got excellent feedback from users. If anyone out
there has experience promoting the task-oriented approach, it would be great
to hear.
