Project Brief

Project Brief

The document that turns an idea into an authorised project — before anyone spends money on initiation.

Thirteen sections, twenty tables, covering what the project is, what it will produce, what it will not do, and who is accountable.

What's inside

• Project definition, background and mandate
• Objectives and desired outcomes
• Scope and exclusions — what is out is as important as what is in
• Products and deliverables
• Quality expectations and acceptance criteria
• Interfaces and dependencies
• Constraints and assumptions
• Outline business case
• Delivery approach, governance and role nominations
• Initiation plan and approval

Who it's for

Anyone who has been asked to "put something together" before a project is approved, and wants it to survive the first steering meeting.

Pairs with the Project Business Case (A$16), which carries the money argument, and the PID (A$16), which follows once the brief is approved.
