Specification

A clear, exact description of the needs to be met and the critical characteristics that must be included.

Key Points

  • Defines what must be delivered and how it will be judged acceptable.
  • Should be measurable, verifiable, and unambiguous.
  • Serves as a baseline for scope, quality planning, and procurement.
  • Changes to specifications must follow formal change control.

Example

For a water pump procurement, the document states: flow rate 200 gpm, head 50 m, stainless steel impeller, ISO 9906 testing, maximum vibration 4.5 mm/s, NPSH available 10 ft, and operating temperature 5-60 C. This is the specification used to evaluate vendor offers and verify the delivered pump.

  1. Project charter
  2. Requirements traceability matrix
  3. Specification
  4. Risk register

Correct Answer: C — Specification
