Summary
1
In this section, summarize your document so that a busy senior manager can read this
section, standalone, and understand the key messages of the document. Also, a summary
is very helpful when anyone reads the document for the first time or after a long period of
time.
Limit the summary to one or two pages.
This section is often referred to as the Executive Summary.

break your product into the top-level specifications. For each major section, create a table
of the requirements and then follow it with a written description.
Overview
Discuss the product from a high-level perspective. Explain what problem it solves and who
and how will they use it. A block diagram (figure) might serve as a good starting point.
