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)
