Great topic - how to write tech specs. While such has been a required task at all the places that I have worked at lately, unfortunately, I do not think you are going to find any existing books or training programs.

I have found that, often, the major part of the task at hand is to supplement, as necessary, design artifacts (like UML activity diagrams, sequence diagrams, etc.) with addtional graphics and text.

I am currently integratting a bunch of technical specs together. I use data flow diagrams, modified as necessary to be heavily implementation oriented.

Folks,

Our developers are being asked to write more and better specs. Most of them are not comfortable with the process, so I suggested a seminar. Anybody know someone in the Boston area that conducts such training? Or a good book on the subject, at least?
