Writing Project Specs That Engineers (And Clients) Actually Like

Why Specs Matter

Good specs reduce:

• Surprises
• Rework
• Stress

My Spec Template

• Context — who, why, constraints
• User stories — written in plain language
• Non-goals — what we are not doing
• Risks — things that might blow up timelines

I keep it short but concrete. The goal is clarity, not bureaucracy.
