Design Briefing
01
Overview
Connect design, business and people with impactful briefing.
As a design manager you need to know how to develop and communicate a design brief. Then you have to manage or lead your designers to deliver on the design brief. This module explains why and how to do that. Some of the topics covered in this module include:
- Why you need to define design objectives and goals first before you write your detailed design brief.
- How to develop and communicate a design brief for a particular project.
- How to make sure designers deliver according to your design brief.
- How the design brief helps to guide discussions around design quality and drive efficient progress of the design process.
