About this document

Purpose. This document defines given CT2 component from the business prospective. It is completed by Analysis Team and serves as a blueprint for Design Team.

Completeness and scope. It should have enough details for Design Team to complete its work. But it should not have too many implementation details because this would limit choices and as a result better design might not be considered (better in terms of time it takes to implement or usability). See example below.

CT2 has 3 similar in functionality components: ICom, Com, Query. If Analysis Team did not originally mandate that they are absolutely different then Design Team might have combine then and this would result in significant savings in terms of programming, testing and support man-hours.

Sections. In general this document should have several sections - see below.
