For customer support, it could be a low number of questions they have to field. For sales, it's how much revenue it brings in. Each of these represents a different perspective on the final product, and each demands something different from the user experience. Research can go on in any direction. To get the most benefit from it, it needs to be focused on the most important features of the product.
If you're lucky, the development process is well defined, with good schedules and specific deliverables. If you're not, then your research plan may become the development schedule (if you can convince the development team that it's worth their while to let it do so). Often talking to the person immediately in charge of the product is the fastest way to determine the actual development process. This could be a project manager, a senior production person, or the marketing manager. Show him or her your list of prioritized questions, and rearrange the priorities to take advantage of the development schedule, moving research that's going to affect near-term development efforts up in the list.

Since it's designed for presentation, it includes more process explanation than an internal document and fewer details than would be used for internal delivery (which would include tables like all the ones described earlier), but it gives a good outline of how such a research plan can look when fully expanded.
