History: requirement

This step is probably one of the most important as it will be a decisive factor for the continuation of your project for both the client and you.

The clearer your specification are the less you will:
- get some client modifications,
- spend time on out of scope refinements that client is asking for,
- answer developer questions,
- correct developer interpretation mistakes.

One meeting with account manager and project manager should be organized to define the guidelines. Then account manager and project manager can work together on a first text specification draft through a collaborative platform (ex: Google Docs).
Then project manager and account manager build a wireframe and a text document (which references the wireframe) going back and forth to the client.

Use a case tracker to get client sign-off to the specifications

Using a case tracker can be useful during this process as it allows:

• A collaborative work (every stakeholder can be notified and comment to the cases),
• Client to sign-off to the specifications by them changing the status of the case to 'Resolved' when a solution is found,
• Prioritize answers that you need in prior.

Identify and break down the different parts of your specifications and create a case for each of them. You should include your wireframe as well.
