Specification Driven Development

A unified, structured approach to software development that ensures quality, maintainability, and business requirement compliance.

🚀 Specification-driven development

This methodology guarantees that every new feature or change starts not with code, but with a clear understanding of what, why, and how.

The methodology consists of three key phases:

  1. Requirements Phase — transforming ideas into clear, testable conditions
  2. Design Phase — creating detailed technical implementation plans
  3. Tasks Phase — breaking down design into specific, actionable steps for developers

Additionally, the methodology includes the concept of steering documents — living project standards (such as Git conventions, code style, architecture) that serve as common context for all specifications.

For smaller tasks, lightweight specifications (micro and quick) are provided to avoid bureaucracy while maintaining the essence of the approach.

The main goal is to create quality, maintainable, and business-needed software efficiently with minimal risks.
