How to Write Proper Technical Specifications (a Brief) for a Web Application
Want an accurate quote for a custom application? Learn what a brief (requirements document) should contain to make sure the software agency understands exactly what you want.
Clarity at the start prevents extra costs at the end
The biggest mistake in software development is starting a complex project based on an idea expressed only verbally. An agency needs a clear technical document to give you a realistic estimate of price and time.
What should a complete brief include?
The main goal: What problem does your application solve?
User personas and roles (ACL): Who uses the application? E.g. admin, manager, standard customer. What permissions does each one have?
The workflow (user flow): Step by step, what the user does from logging in to completing the desired action.
External integrations: Does it need to connect to a payment processor, an ERP or a specific API?
