A design specification represents the entire project and is a high-level place to gather input for new products. A design specification could represent multiple products. For food, it could represent multiple packages sizes, flavors, and language(s) on the final product label. For detailed specifications, variants are created for each option and specified under the design specification.
Projects are organized in a one-level hierarchy.
For a project, some attributes that might be included are the following:
