Software Specifications

When it comes to building anything complex, a solid foundation is key. That’s where Soft Specifications come in.

Think of them as the master plan that keeps everything aligned, from initial concepts to final features.


What Are Soft Specifications?

Soft Specifications lay out the goals, requirements, and standards for a project. Unlike technical specs that dig into the code and hardware, soft specs cover what needs to be achieved and why.

They’re the big-picture vision document that ensures everyone’s on the same page—from stakeholders to developers.
