Vision document

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A vision document is a software process document that describes the overall 'vision', or plan, for a particular piece of software. It is designed to be a high-level document that should get all the stakeholders in the project on the same page. It is much shorter and more general than a product requirements document or a marketing requirements document, which outline the specific product plan and marketing plan respectively.

A vision document generally contains:

  • Introduction
  • Business Needs/Requirements
  • Product/Solution Overview
  • Major Features (Optional)
  • Scope & Limitations
  • Other Needs
