The design brief serves as the foundational overview for the project, outlining the key objectives, constraints, and deliverables. This section provides the necessary context for both the design and engineering teams to understand the scope of work.

Name of the project

...

Clearly state the project’s name for easy identification. This should align with our

...

/wiki/spaces/DT/pages/1759019078 (WIP).

Problem statement

...

Define the problem the design is intended to solve. This should be a succinct description of the user’s pain point or the business challenge being addressed. For example, "

...

users are having difficulty navigating the payment flow, leading to a drop in successful transactions."

User story

...

The user story provided by the PM (Jira ticket) should be documented here, reflecting the end-user’s need in the format  "As a [user type], I want to [goal], so that I can [benefit]."
View user stories documentation.

Task description

...

Describe the specific tasks involved in delivering the design solution. This should break down the key steps that the design team will focus on to solve the problem.

Acceptance criteria

...

This will primarily be provided by the PM (view acceptance criteria documentation) and sets the conditions that need to be met for the design to be approved. However, designers must also consider additional criteria, including:

  • High-level design considerations:

...

  • ensure the design

...

  • addresses essential aspects like accessibility (e.g. WCAG compliance),

...

  • responsive design

...

  • across devices, and user-friendly flows.

  • Constraints:

...

  • incorporate typical design limitations such as platform

...

  • restrictions, technical limitations, or business needs.

Deliverables

...

& success metrics

Define the expected design outputs and how success will be measured.

  • Deliverables: provide wireframes, hi-fi prototypes, interaction documentation, and final assets.

  • Success metrics: example include an increase in transaction completion rate or improved usability scores from user testing.

Relevant links

Include links to related tickets, product requirement documents, research, or any other documentation essential to the project. This ensures easy navigation for stakeholders reviewing the design.
