Requirements & Scope
Define the
right scope.
Requirements & Scope is the stage where the project idea is converted into a clearer list of features, deliverables, integrations and expected functionality.
What does project scope define?
Project scope establishes what is expected to be developed as part of the agreed project. It provides a common reference for the client and development team before implementation begins.
Turning ideas into requirements.
Requirements can cover both visible elements such as pages and screens and technical elements such as APIs, databases and administrative functionality.
What belongs inside the scope?
Within Agreed Scope
- Features discussed and approved
- Specified pages and screens
- Agreed integrations
- Defined platforms
- Specified deliverables
May Require Separate Discussion
- Major new functionality
- Additional platforms
- New integrations
- Major redesigns
- Requirements introduced later

Frequently asked questions.
What is project scope?
Project scope describes the features, deliverables, functionality, platforms and other work expected to be included in a project.

Requirements provide a clearer understanding of what needs to be built and help both sides maintain a common project direction.
Can requirements change after development starts?
Requirements can change, but substantial changes may affect the project scope and may need separate discussion before implementation.
Who confirms the project requirements?
Requirements should be reviewed and confirmed between the client and Zaya Web Studio before development proceeds based on the applicable project arrangement.
Does every project need the same requirements?
No. Requirements vary depending on whether the project is a website, e-commerce store, Shopify project, mobile app, admin system or custom development project.
