Project documentation – contribution to development
To program the system correctly, the development company must know the exact functional specification of the work, so that the core system, the database and the functionality linked to these things are interconnected correctly. Incorrect understanding based on a bad specification can lead to a significant extension of the development time and, last but not least, to an increase in the price of the final work. It follows that an accurate description of how the system works is extremely important when developing projects of a larger scale, such as a portal or a corporate system. Another advantage is that the development company will be able to more accurately determine the resulting amount for programming work on such a system. This means that you won’t have programmers just estimating the amount for the work and then increasing the amount many times over.
You can also order project documentation from us separately before you choose a development company. The benefit will be that you will be able to better compare the prices of potential suppliers.
What does the project documentation contain?
Its advantages and impact on the price of the work
Project documentation – saves time, money and a lot of stress
Thanks to the project documentation, the development company or programmer receives the exact task and workflow of the work to be done. This fact brings several advantages. Thanks to a comprehensive project description, the development company will know exactly what to program and what the scope of development will be. Based on your request for a quote, when supplied with such documentation and specifications, the developer will be able to much more accurately determine the resulting price and time scope.
Another advantage is avoiding misunderstandings, while more transparent terms and conditions give you a better position in case of mistakes and disputes. Many times, large-scale projects take several years to develop and the parties do not remember the exact functionality requirements, which can subsequently disrupt good relationships. With an accurate description, the programmer will not have to invent the functionality, which significantly increases the chances that it will meet your requirements and shortens the development time.
Graphic design, UI, web design – to see the look of your system
Unlike other companies that only include so-called wire frames (block designs and sketches) in the project documentation, we directly incorporate the graphic design of the project into the project documentation, especially for a better idea of how the system will look like and how the individual elements will be placed on the page. This is because it is not possible to estimate the full clarity and functionality of the system from the wire frame, and consequently misunderstandings may arise when creating the graphic design.
Description of the work – prevents misunderstandings and reduces development time
The functional specification, in addition to the graphic designs of the work, shall also include a description of each and every element contained in the graphic design. The document will describe all functionalities and their links to other parts and subsequent processes. This will precisely define the functionality and transparency of the work.
For which projects we recommend the creation of project documentation
We recommend the creation of project documentation especially for larger projects with a lot of functionality, especially if it is a custom-made system. It can be applied for larger websites and e-shops with interactive functionalities of a larger scale or for more demanding solutions. When creating portals or corporate systems, project documentation and functional specification should be an integral part of the work.
Scope of project documentation
Depending on the complexity of the system, the scope of the project documentation also depends on the complexity of the system. For simpler projects, the scope of graphic designs and descriptions of the work varies in tens of pages. For complex and extensive projects, such documentation can run into hundreds of pages.
