Re: Tech Spec vs Functional Spec was RE: What are you working on?

I'm sure there's as many flavors of these as there are software shops, but in the places I've worked:

Func Spec = What it does. The end-user's goals, screen design and task flow.
Tech Spec = How it does it. The system architecture, classes, database design, etc.
