Product Management Project Management

What’s a web development project brief?

A project brief (project proposal, creative brief, design brief, or project plan) is a starting point for your web development project. Use it as a roadmap for the entire project and to help ensure all parties involved are on the same page regarding the project’s objectives and deliverables.

Quick Tip

Xtensio Tip: If you’re looking for a visual project management tool that helps Agile and Lean Teams get efficient and transparent, please check out our simple kanban board template to manage your team’s internal or client projects.

What should I include in a web development project brief?

A web development project brief should focus on results and outcomes. Here are some elements you may want to include:

  • Project Title
  • Project Objectives
  • Scope
  • Target Audience
  • Design and Branding
  • Technical Requirements
  • Content Requirements
  • Project Timeline
  • Budget
  • Stakeholders
  • Deliverables

Allow your brief to grow and adapt. 

Refrain from being concerned with formatting or adhering to a specific outline; a project brief can and should evolve depending on the goal. Here’s how you can achieve it:

  • Describe the project. Give a project overview by defining the what and the why.
  •  Define SMART project objectives (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely).
  •  Identify your target audience.
  •  Set the schedule and budget, including the final due date and important milestones.
  •  Detail the project scope: deliverables, features, tasks, and objectives.
  •  Determine how your team will define project success.
  •  Follow along step-by-step with the project brief how-to guide.

Xtensio is a huge timesaver for me! I can focus on the important things; what to communicate in documents and presentations, not how to make them attractive.
