Product Requirements Document (PRD)
Your developers don't have time to write a technical specification, but the market is pressing and you urgently need project approval?
Let us write your specifications!
What is a specification sheet? How is it structured? What should a good specification sheet contain? What specifications and standards are there? Do we really need them? What advantages do specification sheets have for me, now and for future orders?
In principle, of course, it is not possible to make any universally valid statements. But one thing is clear: specifications are still a very good basis for product development projects, whether they are carried out by your own development department or by external service providers.
The purpose of a specification sheet is not to inspire a customer, but to define exactly which functional and non-functional requirements the product to be developed should have. The aim is to define a competitive product.
We support you in drawing up your specifications so that you can turn your product idea into a technical specification, even if your development team is still busy with other tasks. We take care of the entire process, from recording all relevant data to checking and final approval.
Do you know what you are getting into?
Specifications in product development are requirements defined by the product manager for the product to be developed, but contain many standard requirements that are standard for products in the category.
In the dynamic world of product development, precise specifications are the key to success. However, product managers are often faced with the challenge of considering both innovative features and essential standard requirements.
At Teleconnect, we understand the complexity of this task. We support you in creating specifications that:
✔ Integrate industry standards
✔ Identify potential obstacles at an early stage

How can an external company write specifications for my products?
As developers in the telecommunications and industrial communications sector for over thirty years, our colleagues at Teleconnect have seen many specifications and follow the market for communications products closely.
We are on the ball for you and, based on our industry knowledge in many product categories, can tell you whether your product will be technically up to scratch. Put us to the test!
How we create your PRD
Which contents are relevant?
Introduction
The motivation and reasons for the project are stated here and the objective is defined. The project process should also be clearly explained in this section.
Initial situation and current status
The current initial situation is reproduced. Technical specifications, stakeholders, including technical and functional responsibilities, and system boundaries are defined. At the same time, initial information for the technical framework conditions and any legal requirements are drafted. Simple and unambiguous formulations are crucial here, but should by no means exclude technical terms.
Functional requirements and target status
In this section, all the necessary capabilities and parameters should be specified and described in order to solve the problem described. This section should be as detailed as possible and as rough as necessary.
Non-functional requirements
All requirements that do not correspond to the technical specifications of the functional requirement in point 3) are specified in this area. A target state is also defined here.
System architecture and functional safety requirements
The overall structure of existing systems and interfaces, including the new system, is described. What is the area of application, are there new requirements due to the expansion of the existing systems? It should be clear which requirements exist for the overall system architecture.
Scope of delivery and acceptance criteria
(Measurable) criteria for the requirements and completion of the various phases are defined here. The focus here is on the required functions and quality requirements for the product. Requirements and acceptance criteria should be described in detail. These parameters can of course also be agreed with the relevant service provider.
Glossary
In many sectors, industry-specific abbreviations and technical terms are used or certified processes, subsidies and DIN standards are applied. These abbreviations, processes and standards should always be explained separately to prevent misunderstandings or incomprehension between the parties.
