What the brief contains

  • The kind of project and the kind of help you need.
  • Your goal and who will use the result.
  • The most important features, in your own words.
  • What already exists, and when you would like it done.
  • Your budget, if you want to share it.
  • What you would like to see in a proposal: milestones, lengths, suggested technologies and what is needed from you.

How to use it

Paste the brief into the project description when you start your project, or send it to anyone you ask for a quote. A clear brief helps developers send proposals that fit. For more on what belongs in it, read the guide to writing a project brief.

Want to plan the steps too? Try the milestone planner. Each milestone is funded before work starts and runs 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 or 8 weeks.
