An F-spec is a "functional specification", or a set of functional library requirements for a specific library process or set of related activities. In OLE, we are isolating our Fspecs per User Story in order to define a small, easily specified set of requirements.

User Requirements Template is the functional specification's starting point.
Make a copy of this document and save it to your team's folder. Begin filling it out, the SME team or Project Team can help you if you get stuck.

A functional specification can include many things, but focuses on a general description of the work to be done by library users, the data elements or documents affected, and any business rules for managing the work specified.See our OLE Spec Writing & Requirements Analysis - The child pages listed there are packed full of information about what to include, roles in spec and SME teams, and other useful material and tools for OLE

See our spec templates page for templates, explanations, and samples.
