target specifications Explanation: target specifications I’d go with that if (as your note indicates) the objectives have already been agreed upon and the process of reaching the agreement is not an issue anymore. Your larger context may require some editing of this suggestion, e.g., if the variables specified are mainly performance variables, then the translation could be "performance targets" Simply “objectives” or “targets’ might also do, but your note suggests that the suggested two-word translation is probably better. Zielvereinbarung: agreement on (operational) targets (Schäfer, Wirtschaftswörterbuch ISBN, ISBN 3 8006 18532)… ..but your context concerns specifications, not operational issues HTH Tom see above, and extensive experience writing product and systems specifications (medical electronics) |

target agreement Explanation: Take a look at this online sample text: http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/serverupgrade/msg00001.html “I am now at the target-agreement (Zielvereinbarung) phase, were I must write a target-specification (Pflichtenheft). I will formulate it as a "checklist of user-visible services", which will be useful as a final check to test if we implemented everything that we had on the old servers.” Fuad Reference: http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/serverupgrade/msg00001.html |
