## 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](https://erdibuilds.app/guides/how-to-write-a-project-brief).

Want to plan the steps too? Try the [milestone planner](https://erdibuilds.app/tools/milestone-planner). Each milestone is funded before work starts and runs 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 or 8 weeks.

## Your data

## Frequently asked questions

### Is my brief saved anywhere?

No. The tool runs in your browser and stores nothing. Copy the brief or download it as a .md file.

### Do I need to know technology to fill it in?

No. Describe the goal, the users and the features in plain words. Developers handle the technical choices and explain them.

### Should I share my budget?

It is optional. A budget helps developers propose a plan that fits. You can also leave it out and compare proposals first.

### Can I use the brief on other platforms?

Yes. It is plain text, so you can paste it anywhere you ask for quotes.
