Design Brief: A Tool for Enhancing Project Communication

A Bigger Goal:

  • To do the right thing in a right way
  • to diminish the differences between groups by boosting the communication
  • Put into writing what you are planning to do in your project
  • Include what you learn

What is a Design Brief:

  • A document
  • An insurance between parties, may be changed later by the situations
  • A basic description on what is expected. Both parties know approximately what they're entering into and what are they committing to

Content of the Brief:

  • There's more than one correct form
  • Often Design Brief and Project plan are discerned as a same thing
  • Today we're talking about communicational briefs
  • Project plan can be created upon this

Design Brief consists of:

  • Project Background
  • Project type: the unknown in the equation
  • Directing resources
  • Results
  • General facts
  • Tecnhnical info, details
  • Precise Project info
  • Phases
  • Research Areas

Why a Design Brief:

  • The personnel might change
  • Avoid waste of time and resources, if possible
  • Starting is easier and faster
  • Recognize biggest challenges in advance
  • Not rely on intuition and time running o communication between people
  • No surprises with prioritization, expectations and results in project work
  • Things might change, it's important to know what existed in the beginning, to understand and reflect the changes
  • It might save your project, it might be unnecessary; you cannot know in advance!
  • It's better to ask in the beginning

THE DESIGN BRIEF IS MEANT TO BE ALIVE!
it should be always open to changes (a working document)

Dimensioning Techniques

Highlights of the slideshow:
  1. Dimensioning includes measurements, notes, and symbols.
  2. Placements of Dimensions: can be placed on the inside or outside of the extension lines.
  3. Dimensioning Diameters: have to put the diameter symbol for full circle.
  4. Dimensioning Radii: do not need their centers located, and are for incomplete circles-arcs, rounds, fillets exc.
  5. Decimal Inch (Imperial)
  6. Millimetre (Metric)

Some rules:

  1. Each Dimension should be clearly shown and stated so that it can be
  2. Dimensions should not be duplicated or given on a drawing two different ways.
  3. Dimensions should not be placed in the view where the best shape and true form are shown.
  4. Avoid long extension and leader lines.
  5. Place a dimension between views, especially if it applies to both views and will improve clarity
  6. Do not assume that a paert is symmetrical. Dimension both sides of a symmetrically shaped part or use the centerline symbol or note to avoid confusion.
  7. Spacing between dimensions should be consistent within a drawing.
  8. Line up dimensions horizontally and vertically where possible.
  9. Avoid crossing dimension lines or leaders where possible.
  10. Make full use or notes, abbreviations, and symbols to show how many times a dimension applies. For example, use 2x in a note to designate that a detail specified in the note exists in two places on the drawing. Dimension separately if the times (x) designation would be confusing.
