What should a technical specification contain and how to write it correctly
The creation of a web project is a complex process that requires a clear understanding of goals, tasks, and technical requirements. In this article, we will look at what the Terms of Reference (TOR) should include and how to draw it up correctly to ensure successful project development with Sbitsoft professionals.
1. Introduction: why do we need terms of reference?
A terms of reference is a document that serves as the foundation for the development of a web project. It is created on the basis of a dialogue between the customer and the contractor, in our case, our company. This document becomes a kind of “road map” that determines how the goals will be achieved.
2. Structure of terms of reference: main components
2.1. Introduction and project description.
Ready to work with us? Write us!
The first section of the terms of reference should contain an introduction, which describes the overall goals of the project, its context and basic requirements. This helps to clearly articulate what exactly is intended to be achieved.
2.2. Description of functionality and capabilities
This section should contain a detailed description of the functions and capabilities of the project. Here it is recommended to use terms that are understandable to both the customer and the developers. Use cases, work scenarios, and required integrations are all things to consider.
2.3. Requirements for design and interface
Defining design requirements helps establish the overall style of the project, including color schemes, fonts, and other essential aspects of the visual presentation.
2.4. Security and data protection requirements
Security is an important aspect of web development. The terms of reference should include requirements for data protection, access management, and other security aspects.
2.5. Performance and optimization requirements
Defining expected performance indicators and optimization requirements helps create a project that operates efficiently and swiftly.
2.6. Technological stack
Defining the technologies to be used is a crucial step. This includes selecting programming languages, frameworks, databases, and other technical solutions.
2.7. Testing and acceptance criteria
Clear testing and acceptance criteria help ensure that the developed project meets the customer's expectations.
2.8. Timelines and budget.
Setting project timelines and budget helps keep all work within the established constraints.
3. How to write a technical specification: recommendations from Sbitsoft
3.1. Define project goals and objectives
Before you start writing the terms of reference, clearly define the goals and objectives of the project. The more clearly they are formulated, the easier it will be to create a detailed terms of reference.
3.2. Interaction with the development team
Communication with our development team is key. Only close cooperation with the customer allows us to achieve maximum clarity in understanding the requirements.
3.3. Be as detailed as possible
The more detailed the requirements, the less likely there are misunderstandings and errors during the development process. Include examples, diagrams, and other illustrations for clarity.
3.4. Consider possible risks
Be aware of possible risks and anticipate them in the terms of reference. This will help save time and resources during the development process.
3.5. Define project success criteria
A clear definition of project success criteria allows you to avoid misunderstandings in assessing the project’s readiness for launch.
