Software Requirements Specification (SRS)_ [System or Workstream Name]
Date: [YYYY-MM-DD]
Status: [Draft | In Review | Approved]
Owner: [Name]
Reviewers: [Names]
Scope: [Technical system boundary]
Purpose: Define the technical requirements, interfaces, constraints, and acceptance criteria for implementation.
1. Purpose
State what technical system is being specified and why.
2. System Context
Describe where the system lives inside Project Velocity and what it integrates with.
3. Assumptions and Constraints
State:
- runtime assumptions
- infrastructure assumptions
- compatibility constraints
- legal or licensing constraints
4. Functional Architecture
Describe the runtime layers, modules, or services.
5. Functional Requirements
For each requirement, include:
- requirement ID
- description
- producer and consumer if relevant
- acceptance criteria
6. Interface Requirements
Specify:
- APIs
- internal service interfaces
- event contracts
- schema boundaries
7. Data Model
Describe entities, artifacts, identifiers, and lifecycle fields.
8. Non-Functional Requirements
8.1 Reliability
Define uptime, retry, or failure-handling expectations.
8.2 Scalability
Define concurrency, throughput, or growth assumptions.
8.3 Security
Define access control, auth, and approval expectations.
8.4 Privacy
Define redaction, least-privilege, and data exposure rules.
8.5 Observability
Define metrics, traces, and logs.
8.6 Fault Tolerance
Define degraded behavior and replay strategy.
8.7 Licensing
Define upstream provenance and redistribution constraints if relevant.
9. Evaluation and Testing Strategy
Describe:
- unit testing
- integration testing
- replay testing
- governance testing
10. Migration and Fork Plan
Describe:
- what is forked
- what remains upstream-compatible
- what migration path exists from current state
11. Open Questions
List unresolved technical issues.
12. Acceptance Criteria
Define the completion gate for engineering.
