What is a clarification project?
A clarification project is a manual of what needs to be done in the digital project. So, it is a preliminary project before the actual technical project begins.
The task of a clarification project (or Requirement Specification Project as we call it) is to define and present an overview of all the needs that must be met so that it is possible to develop a suitable solution. It is a document that describes the overall project.
The clarification project is the basis for the digital project and makes it possible to divide it into clear sub-projects to achieve better time management and greater efficiency.
The essential thing in a clarification project is that it contains all the functional and non-functional system requirements for the project. In addition, it includes a layout for the overall system design.
A clarification project must...
A valuable process...
... match business goals and needs with code and design
... both for you as a company and us as an web agency
A clarification project should consider the future infrastructure of the system and provide suggestions for technological decisions – perhaps a specific CRM is not the right solution for your needs? The overall system layout is the foundation as it combines the design manual and project management overview.
In the process of an RSP, we document the KPIs and the company’s primary goals and needs. This means that we ensure that the project matches the business objectives.
Once that is done, we can finally map out the right technical solution – what we need to build to achieve the business goals.
At Twentyfour, we put a lot of focus on each clarification project, as it helps us set the direction for an upcoming digital project.
In the clarification project, work is based on a detailed description. Here are defined, among other things:
- What do you as a company want from the project?
- How should the project create a good user experience for your customers and employees?
It is a process where, together with you and your team, we map the business (what you as a company want to achieve) with the technical – what we need to build to achieve your business goals.

Why do you need a clarification project?
Usually, a clarification project is the next step after the first meetings, where we dig a little deeper to analyze the project and its possible solutions – and especially to ensure that we choose the right solution.
This means that a clarification project is carried out so that we can map and identify a customer’s needs and deliver the most cost-effective and user-friendly product.
All your requirements are collected in what we call a requirements collection. We register all your business needs to be able to analyze and define which functions the solution must contain.
Every process of software and web development depends on a clarification project.

Our 4-step process in a clarification project
The clarification project brings several benefits
The clarification project contains the following 4 steps:
- Defines your business needs by mapping the scope of systems and resources allocated to us within the project time frame.
- Then, the development team can design the software system based on the information gathered from the clarification project.
- After that, our developers can develop and code the software system based on the design.
- Finally, the development team must ensure that the system can run and meets your requirements and wishes. The system is continuously tested to check that it meets your requirements.
We ensure a solution that matches your needs and goals by going through these four steps.
An advantage we often see with this process is that the customer is spared unnecessary costs. Therefore, the software and web development process depends on the clarification project.
If your requirements specifications are registered in the clarification project, every process in the collaboration and the project progress can then be carried out optimally and control the project’s direction. It saves you both time and financial costs as well as resources.
Another advantage is that the development team can effectively manage their time and resources to achieve your business needs to perfection.

Why is a clarification project important?
Our experience is that what appears to be the best solution to begin with is not always the right case. After a thorough analysis and clarification project, we can often find a better and more efficient solution that saves you time and money.
A software requirement specification is the foundation of your entire project. It creates a framework for what each team member involved in the project will follow.
The clarification project is used to deliver critical information to multiple teams; development, quality assurance, operation and maintenance.
