Specification Writing

|
Introduction A Requirements Specification is a definition of the user's needs to solve a particular business problem. It should describes what you want to achieve but not necessarily how to achieve it.
If you need a requirements specification but lack either the skills or the
resources to undertake this yourselves then we can write one for you. Over the
years we have created many specifications for all types of clients. Some were
for applications that we have subsequently developed, others for third party or
in-house use. Irrespective of who is intended to undertake the eventual
development we always endeavor to be objective and impartial and will write the
specification from your perspective and with your best interests in mind. |
| What is
included? The content of a specification can vary considerably but a typical one might include: |
 Who you are |
| Where you are
located |
| Contact details |
| An overview of what
your company or organisation does |
| What are the
reasons that a new system is required |
| Who will be using
the system and how many users there are |
| Data volumes, both
current and future |
| Security issues |
| Existing and
proposed infrastructure (hardware, software, network) |
| Performance
requirements |
| Standards/conventions
to be followed |
| Integration with
other software/busoiness processes/equipment.
|
| Backup requirements |
| A detailed
description of the functionality required |
| Deliverables |
| Timescales |
| Possibly outlines
of main data tables and their relationships |
| Definitions of any
acronyms or specialist terms used |
| What To Do
Next... If you are interested in having a specification written for you then please contact us to arrange a meeting to discuss your requirements further. Please note that during the writing of a specification we will normally have to undertake a series of meetings with all involved parties (users, technical staff, managers, support personnel, etc.) to ensure that we fully understand your requirements and that we have taken the views of all personnel affected by the proposed development into consideration.
