Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a requirements and a functional specification?
The client writes the requirements specification: what is needed and why. The contractor answers with the functional specification: how each requirement is implemented, tested and accepted. In the examples every item in the functional specification refers to the number of the requirement it fulfils.
What does a functional specification contain?
Typically nine chapters: introduction, solution overview and architecture, implementation of functional and non-functional requirements, interfaces and migration, data protection and IT security, test and acceptance concept, project phases and roles, and operations and support.
Can I use the examples as a template?
Yes. Every example is available as a Word download. Adapt figures, systems and priorities to your initiative, or let the free generator write your own document from a short description.
