FS Writing Guide

Prepare a new document

Create a new document, then switch to Directory View.

This guide mainly uses Directory View.

When you write in Directory View, you can focus on each Feature one by one, and capture them in more detail.

📌 Tips

• In Tree View, Shift+click an item to jump to Directory View.

• Double-click an item to edit its name instantly.

• Use Drag & Drop to reorder items or change their parent.

How to write Requirements

First, let's define the Requirements.

• Shopping: When products are displayed, customers can pick and order them.

Now, write the criteria of 'These are the things you should be able to do in Shopping!' under Acceptance Criteria.

• Acceptance Criteria

  • Users must be able to select the categories and brands they want.

  • Users must be given options for sort order.

  • Users must be able to search products by entering a search term.

  • Search results must include sorting by relevance.

  • Users can purchase (pay) within the service.

  • Products can be totaled by adding them to a cart, and benefits can be applied based on the total.

Depending on the nature of your Project, you can write criteria from various angles, such as the minimum feature level needed for development, completeness of the User Flow, or the level needed to realize the business model. 💭

How to write Features

As we concretize the Requirements, the rough shape of the Features starts to emerge.

Now let's break the Features down even more realistically.

• 'What features usually go into Shopping?'

• 'Based on this Requirement, I think we'd need this feature.'

With this kind of thought flow, list them out as they come to mind.

In our Requirements we mentioned category classification, sorting, and search — all of which need a product list — so we added 'Browse product list' as a Feature.

How to write Specifications

Next, let's write the Specifications for 'Browse product list'.

To make it easier to follow, we've written the Features and Specifications in a familiar table format.

How would you write the above 'Browse product list' in Manyfast?

📌 Tip: Detailed content can go in the 'Description' field — keep that in mind!

Repeat

That covers the basic writing steps.

If you switch to the Tree View, what you wrote in Directory View looks like this.

Now just keep branching out the remaining parts to match the picture in your head.

📌 No plan is perfect from the start — raise the quality through iterative revisions.
