Criteria and Performance Specifications

PAGE 2 OF 2
 
I will start by defining the term Performance Specification. A performance specification tells you what success is in clear terms yet it does not tell what the solution is or concretely how to do it. A properly worded Performance Specification, therefore, creates a problem to be solved leaving the solution open for many design, engineering, building options. A traditional specification assumes the answer and requires compliance to it leaving only cost and time as the major variables. This blocks creativity and innovation.
