Briefs: Initial and Refined

Your initial brief should include:

• a statement of the problem in your own words
• who the client is
• who the stakeholders are
• what solution you are going to make

Your refined brief is written after you have done some research and consultation. It will include more details of what the solution will involve - these are called specifications. Also, any things that are definitely required - these are called constraints. You can do it by taking your inital brief and adding more details about the problem and solution.
