Compared to other UX Design Docs, thedesign brief is larger. There is more text because the design brief document solidifies the scope of the webapp-designing project.
The design brief includes the following sections:
- project overview
- purpose or mission
- project goals
- target audience
- project objectives
- constraint mitigation
- actions_user takes
- design imperatives
- design outcomes
- success measurements
- history of use case
- solution analysis
While, the design brief has many sections, the text of each section should be concise.
All of the sections combine and help the stakeholders focus of a clear understanding of the project, especially its goal and intended scope.
The design brief also serves as a guiding reference for the entire design team. The design brief is intended to be a Regular reference that helps maintain consistency and relevance through-out the design and development process.
