Requirements are useful when they describe user actions and expected outcomes, not when they merely list attractive features.
Write user journeys
For each role, explain the starting point, action, confirmation, failure path and resulting business record. Include real terminology from the organisation.
Capture business rules
Specify approvals, pricing rules, transaction limits, visibility of records and who can override an action. Backend validation is just as important as the screen design.
Practical lens: The best decision depends on users, the existing business system, data risk and the outcome the app needs to deliver. Validate these conditions before committing to features.
Record non-functional needs
Include performance expectations, offline behaviour, accessibility, data handling, devices, security assumptions and expected volumes where known.
Make acceptance observable
A criterion such as 'a rejected order leaves stock unchanged and gives a clear message' is testable. 'The app must be user-friendly' is not.
Example from a business workflow
An order-entry specification should explain what happens when stock changes between basket creation and final submission.
Questions to take into your project discussion
Turn the guidance into a brief by confirming each of these items with the people responsible for the product:
- User roles and journeys
- Business rules
- Failure and empty states
- Verifiable acceptance criteria
What to do next
Write a one-page summary of your user groups, current workflow, necessary integrations and decisions still open. Evaluate trade-offs against those facts. For an Android-specific requirement, Archeet Infotech can discuss the implementation scope; work such as specialist SEO or hosting belongs with the relevant group concern.
These official resources explain relevant Android and platform practices. Project-specific decisions require verification at implementation time.
