Discovery phase

FunctionalSpecification

A clear, detailed document outlining how the system works—including inputs, outputs, behaviors, and rules.

Purpose & value

We turn business goals and user needs into clear technical requirements. A strong functional specification keeps everyone aligned—developers know exactly what to build, and QA knows exactly what to test. This step reduces rework, avoids misunderstandings, and ensures the product behaves as expected.

When to use

“When clarity is needed between business, design, and engineering”

“After features are defined”

Deliverables

Feature list with detailed logic, rules, and exceptions

Case study

For an admin dashboard project, we created a detailed functional spec that covered every logic scenario, including edge cases. This reduced back-and-forth during development and cut rework by 60%.
