2.2 Justification2.2 JustificationThe Functional Specification is a contract between the customer and the team, describing from a technical view what the customer expects. The quality of the Functional Specification (completeness and correctness) has a significant impact on the quality of the development activities and all follow on phases. Completion of this website will increase the amount of sales and profits that will directly be reflected in the bottom line. The customer will also be able to have easier access with regards to finding the products that they need in an easier more user friendly format.

3. Information Culture3. Information CultureThe goal of CHEER CONNECTIONS is to build a strong and productive information culture that maximizes the effectiveness of the processes employees use to store, find and communicate information. A strong and productive information culture is based on the appropriate tools (for example a document repository) and policies (for example a practice of posting project summaries in a shared corporate memory repository), but it needs much more:

A pervasive understanding that: good information behaviors are paramount; such behaviors are everyone's responsibility; they make everyone's work lives easier.

4. Security Requirements4. Security RequirementsCHEER CONNECTIONS administrative functions – both email and content management – will be protected and organized by a security layer. When staff log into the administrative site, the security layer will determine their user level (administrator, editor or author) and what site areas and tools they can use.
