What is meant by Requirement and functional specification?
The term "creation of requirements and functional specifications" refers to the process of creating two technical documents that define the requirements and expectations of a project. A requirements specification (Lastenheft) outlines the client's needs for a product or service, while a functional specification (Pflichtenheft) details how the contractor plans to meet those requirements. These documents serve as the basis for clear communication between the involved parties and form the foundation for developing and implementing a system or project.
