Separating sections will help you stay organized as you write and ensure that you don't accidentally leave out any information.
This will also help all parties involved quickly find the information they need in the document.
When you write your specification, include each of the sections email data we discussed above. Depending on your industry and the specific project, you may want to add other sections as needed.
Various potential sections may include location or special requirements for your project.
Focus on clarity above all else
While it may be tempting to fill your specification with aesthetically pleasing elements or long texts and descriptions, remember that this is a binding agreement between you and your client.
Clarity is essential, which means there is no room for interpretation in this document.
Write straight, keep the layout simple, and remove anything that doesn't need to be there. Staying as brief and precise as possible will prevent misunderstandings between you and your client.
Use bulleted lists where possible.
As we mentioned, clarity is key to success in your work. Bulleted lists are a great way to break up long chunks of text and make it easier to find important information.
They will also help you stay concise when writing because they work well for short phrases rather than long sentences.
We recommend including bulleted lists in your specification in all sections that provide specific details, such as the Tasks section or the Schedule section.
