Project brief — <name>

Owner: <name> · Status: Draft · Target: <date>

One sentence: what changes for the customer, and by when.

Problem

Who hurts, how often, and the evidence you already have. <Replace with yours.>

Support hears it weekly: "I already have all my notes somewhere else." Moving content in means copy-paste, file by file — paid exactly when patience is lowest.

Goals

  • <Measurable goal — from <x> to <y>>
  • Cut time-to-first-real-doc from 12 min to under 2 min

Non-goals

  • <What we are refusing this round, and why>
  • Two-way live sync with the source tool

Users & evidence

Who they are, and the number that proves the problem is real. <38% of churned trial users named this as the blocker.>

Scope

In — <the smallest thing that actually solves the problem>

Out — <the tempting adjacent thing we are not doing this round>

Risks & open questions

  • <Risk> → <the mitigation, not a restatement of the risk>
  • <The question you need answered before you commit>

Once scope is agreed, the milestones move to a Project plan and the shipped result comes back to a Sprint retro.
