Staff changes come to mind as one such issue. Some "gaps" in transfer of knowledge occur, and all of a sudden, no one in the organization knows about some system that was in place years ago. Bad part is that system probably still is doing stuff, but no one knows what or sometimes folks don't even know about it at all, till it breaks or some analysis of some kind happens on the system it lives on. Ah, the joys of inheriting systems, and having to find out what the heck is going on with them. Fun times. Yeah - Thinking about this made me think of other things that cause pain to IT folks.
