If there was a way to simplify project planning and make documentation more accessible for all parties, would you want to learn about it?

We’re always looking to make planning and building projects more efficient, and agile methodologies are a major step forward in that regard. Document briefs offer a way to present smaller pieces of information to targeted audiences, greatly simplifying project planning and development. The client brief is the foundation of this documentation process and is thus a critical part of every agile project.

In this course, you’ll analyze a proposed client project to:

  • Gather requirements and extract client needs.

  • Identify project constraints.

  • Prepare a stakeholder management plan (SMP).

You’ll use this information to construct a professional client brief, your anchor for communicating project scope to your client.

Are you ready to learn how to write clear and effective client briefs? Then join me in the first chapter, and let’s get started!
