The deliverables for the Specification Review depend upon how large the application is and the time we have spent on the review.

You will receive:

• High level PowerPoint presentation
  • Requirement Analysis
    • Infrastructure – A summary of your current infrastructure, and technology configuration and limitations
    • System Overview – An overview of the new system requirements
    • System Integration – An outline of integration required with different data sources. WHITSUN developers will investigate all these systems and create a roadmap for the integration. You will have a confirmation that all sources can be integrated and the method of integration
  • Summary Release Plan
    • A list of tasks will be broken down based on the Requirements Analysis and the Architectural Design
    • These tasks will then be estimated and moved into release plans for two week implementations
  • Ballpark estimates
    • The number of releases
    • The number of ‘man-months’ of work to complete the project
    • Estimated cost of the project
• A word document, if required
  • Contains the Software Architects’ notes and screenshots
  • Architectural Design
    • Database Schema – A basic schema of your new database to be designed according to your requirements. The schema will demonstrate the table design and relationships in the back-end
    • Page Descriptions – A general description of the pages based on the System Overview above, including controls and general business rules which provide the foundation for detailed business logic and implementation
    • Sitemap – A diagram illustrating the application navigation, and the connection between pages

For most projects the specification process is broken up into a number of stages, the first being a specification review, and then further specification work as and when required. For smaller projects, say less than a month in duration, only a specification review may be conducted. It really depends on how complex your project is.
