Build a project brief
Answer a few questions about who will use the software, what you use today, and what the first version must accomplish. The page writes a brief you can copy into an email. It runs in your browser and does not store what you type.
A finished brief names four things: the kind of project, the person who uses it, the workaround it replaces, and the outcome of version one. Tick the checklist so the open questions are visible before a call, not after a quote. The longer explanation of why these questions matter is in how to brief a software project.
Your brief
Add a first outcome and tick at least two checklist items. The brief updates as you go.
Project brief Project type: Marketing website Who uses it: Customers or the public What exists today: A sheet, notebook, or chat Timing preference: Not sure yet First outcome: (still blank — write the one result the first version must produce) Already clear: - Nothing ticked yet Still open: - I can name the main pages a stranger should open - I know the one action a visitor should take - I have real photos, registration details, or work to show - I know who owns the domain
What to do with the brief
- Read the “still open” list. If a line is something only your team knows, answer it before you send the brief.
- Read the first outcome to the person who will use the software. If they disagree, change the sentence.
- Send it from the contact page or to hr@jantarax.com. A timing preference is not a quote.
