Functional design is the phase of systems or product development where teams define how a system should behave from the user's perspective — its features, workflows, and interactions — without specifying the underlying technical implementation. Business analysts, product managers, and systems designers use it to translate business needs into a blueprint that developers can later build against. It typically results in a functional design document that bridges requirements gathering and technical design.
