FSD Template 1

This document provides a template for a functional specifications document that outlines requirements for a project. It includes sections for an introduction, general description, requirements, and appendices. The introduction would define the purpose, references, abbreviations, and conventions. The general description gives an overview of the product context, users, requirements, data needs, and environment. The requirements section specifies interfaces, functions, performance, security, usability and other needs. Appendices can attach any models and list open issues. Authorization is needed from management to accept and proceed with the work defined in the specifications.
