  • "Your business logic and a functional specification need to be designed in a way which is easy to understand for anyone, regardless of cultural background. Engineers need to know what it is that you expect from them before commissioning them to build it."

    YES. I'm quoting this as it's very very important and deserves to be repeated. This is one of the main reason for cost over-runs. Often the business requiring the service is unclear or changes their mind after they receive the first draft -- changes cost!
