I keep hearing these questions from many of the junior consultants:
What is the difference between MD50 and MD70 documents? Do I have to prepare both the documents even for minor extensions/interfaces?
Well, as you are probably aware, MD50 is AIM document that is used for the documentation of functional design for extensions and Interfaces (& other RICE objects). MD70 comes next where the Technical parts of the requirements are documented. Sometimes, it will be too cumbersome to prepare MD50s and MD70 for certain minor objects. Many organizations combine MD50 and MD70 into a single document with a seperate name like MDZIP or MDSHORT etc.
The adavantage of this consolidation is that the same document can be used for the functional part and later for the technical part. This is known to reduce the time for handling multiple versions of the document, approval cycles etc.
