A useful starting point
A better brief
is a useful beginning.
Give your next discussion a clear starting point. Outline the people, workflows, and information involved before choosing an implementation.
The information flow
Map the information involved and systems or tools that may need to work together.
The project context
Record known requirements, constraints, priorities, and open questions.
The approach
From an idea
to an outline.
- 01
Frame the problem
Start with the task and the people who need a better way to complete it.
- 02
Make the scope visible
Separate essential needs, assumptions, and questions.
- 03
Choose a next discussion
Use the brief as a starting point for review, rather than a promise of a particular solution.
Keep the next step simple
Put the idea on one page.
Create a project outline you can keep locally and share when you have the right contact.
