Abstract: Systems and methods that facilitate software development projects via employing a synchronization component, which enables synchronization among a state for a specification, a product and an associated documentation. A project manager responsible for preparing the specification can enter and/or store the definition of the specification in a specification database, in form of a Structured Query Language (SQL), for example. A differentiator component compares state of the specification with the product (e.g., build of SQL server) at desired intervals, and further identifies any discrepancies therebetween. As such, a centralized location is provided for comparison of the specification and the product, and for enabling synchronization among the specification, the product and the associated documentation.
