Features/MCP Workflows/Word/Requirement specification document

Requirement specification document

Your requirements are already in the model. This turns them into the document a review board, a customer, or a regulator will accept, without retyping anything.

WordRead-only

The problem this solves

Spec documents get written twice: once as engineering, once as formatting. Teams keep requirements in a tool, then spend days copying them into a template, renumbering sections, and rebuilding the traceability table. By the time it is signed, the model has moved on.

How it works

Turn your requirements into a Word spec, grouped by subsystem, with a traceability appendix.

01
Read the model
The agent pulls every requirement in scope with its ID, statement, status, verification method, and owning subsystem.
02
Structure the document
Requirements are grouped by subsystem in the order your architecture defines, so the document reads like the system.
03
Build the traceability appendix
Model links become a traceability table: requirement to parent, requirement to test, with gaps called out.
04
Render to Word
Output is a .docx you can hand to a reviewer, styled to your template when you attach one.

The prompt

Read all requirements in [model name] and generate a formal System Requirements Specification as a Word document. Group by subsystem, include ID, statement, status, and verification method, and add a traceability appendix.

Replace the [bracketed] placeholders with your model and project names.

What you get

System Requirements Specification (.docx)
Traceability appendix table
List of requirements with no verification method

Document formats

Other tools hand you empty templates to type into. Because the document chain maps to requirement levels in the model — stakeholder needs at the top, system requirements below, satisfied by parts — one Dalus model emits the whole chain and cross-document traceability comes free.

Dalus + Word

The document is produced as a real Word file, not a chat response. Attach your house template or an example deliverable and the agent replicates its structure, headings, and numbering scheme.

Common questions

Can it match our company template?
Yes. Attach an example deliverable or the empty template and ask the agent to replicate its structure. It maps model content into your sections rather than inventing its own.
What happens when the model changes?
Re-run the workflow. The document regenerates from the current model state, which is the point: the specification stops being a snapshot you maintain by hand.
Do you support Business and Stakeholder Requirements Specifications?
Not as separate templates yet. The teams that need a BRS or StRS almost always have a mandated house format, which the upload-your-own path already covers. Ask us if you need one reified as a first-class template.
Does it change my model?
No. This workflow only reads the model.
