The documents Vinod and Richard produced together cover basically everything, but I can't merge them. Both of them have very specific formats that would be ruined if I tried to splice them together like Frankenstein's monster. On a spectrum of general to specific, the Product Specification sits at one end, Vinods somewhere in the middle, and Richards on the specific end getting us much closer to use-cases, classes, data-design, etcetera. Vinods appears to be based on this: http://www.justice.gov/jmd/irm/lifecycle/appendixc14.htm . It overlaps somewhat with the Product Specification, and also covers non-functional requirements quite well. Richards is a very concise/complete/precise Functional Requirements Document (FRD) that the use cases should be elaborations of.
Between the two of them, does anyone else see anything missing? I don't.
