Specify: “When someone eventually writes the ‘perfect’ specification for a complex requirement, it will describe exactly what is required, simply, precisely once, in the one correct place in the document! In the meantime though, cutting corners and failing to provide clear, good quality statements of requirement remains a false economy!”
It sounds simple, doesn’t it?
Many professionals can write specifications, but writing a good specification of any complexity is a highly skilled task and the quality requirement for the document itself is frequently undervalued.
Both over-specifying and under-specifying ultimately lead to higher whole-life costs. Lack of clarity ultimately leads to non-conformances and cost variations for corrective actions.
Proceeding with no specification at all on the basis that "it's bit like the one we did last week but a bit smaller and it's blue instead of green" never did anyone any favours!
Specification drafting forms a key part of Prodel’s core business with many published examples in the highways sector (under Crown Copyright).
