General Functional Specifications: the roadmap to successfully launching your online marketplace platform
General Functional Specifications describe in detail the required capabilities, features and user interactions offered by your online marketplace platform.
Specifications are the first materialization of your future online marketplace platform. Defining your requirements through this lens forces a strong level of abstraction, in particular with regards to interfaces, and helps better define business rules, functionality and user interactions. As a result, the specifications provide a central reference for UX and UI designers, proxy product owner, QA and developers alike.
The Cocolabs’ engineering team has designed over 250 specifications for customers across numerous industries, regulated by diverse legal frameworks and following unique business rules. This experience enables us to rapidly deliver a concise roadmap for our clients, thereby providing the groundwork towards delivering your online marketplace.
