Before

We need to redesign the landing page and make it convert better. Please prioritize this soon.

After

Project: Q2 Landing Page Redesign

Goal & Success Metrics:

  • Increase conversion rate from 2.8% to 4.0%+ within 6 weeks of launch

Background:

  • Conversion rate declined over the last 90 days; messaging and performance need improvement before the Q2 campaign

Scope: In scope:

  • Updated hero messaging and primary CTA
  • Proof points/testimonials refresh
  • Pricing module improvements
  • Page speed optimizations and accessibility checks Out of scope:
  • Full site redesign
  • Backend refactor

Deliverables:

  • New page copy + content hierarchy
  • Figma designs (desktop/tablet/mobile)
  • Webflow build + QA checklist
  • GA4 event tracking + A/B test plan

Stakeholders:

  • Contributors: Design, Copy, Frontend
  • Approvers: Head of Marketing, Legal

Constraints & Timeline:

  • Deadline: Apr 15; Budget: $6,000; Legal review required
  • Suggested milestones: discovery (1 week), design (1 week), build (1 week), QA + launch (1 week)

Risks & Mitigations:

  • Risk: approval delays → schedule legal review earlier and pre-approve claims

Next Steps:

  • Confirm scope, finalize KPIs, and approve timeline to begin discovery

Pro Tips for Better Results

Get the most out of the AI Project Brief Generator with these expert tips.

Write goals as outcomes, not tasks

Instead of “redesign the page,” use outcomes like “increase conversion rate to 4%+” or “reduce time-to-value for new users.” This makes the brief easier to evaluate and approve.

Define out-of-scope early

Explicit out-of-scope items prevent scope creep and protect the timeline—especially for cross-functional projects with multiple stakeholders.

Include constraints and approvals

Add deadline, budget range, tools/stack, and required approvals (legal, brand, security). The generator will reflect these in risks and milestones.

Add acceptance criteria for clarity

When possible, specify “done means…” (e.g., page loads under 2s, tracking events implemented, QA checklist passed). This reduces rework and ambiguity.

What a project brief should include (and why it saves you hours later)

A good project brief is basically a shared brain for everyone involved. It answers the stuff people keep asking in Slack, meetings, and feedback docs, before they ask it. And once you have it, projects move faster because the team is not guessing.

Here are the sections that typically make a project brief actually usable:

1) Background and context

Why are you doing this now? What changed? What problem are you fixing, or what opportunity are you chasing?

If you include even 2 to 3 lines here, stakeholders stop treating the project like a random request and start seeing the why.

2) Goal and success metrics (KPIs)

This is the part most briefs mess up.

Try to write your goal as a measurable outcome, not a task.

Good:

  • Increase landing page conversion rate from 2.8% to 4.0%+
  • Reduce support tickets about onboarding by 15%
  • Improve activation rate to 30% within 60 days

Less useful:

  • Redesign the landing page
  • Launch a new feature
  • Improve the UX

Tasks are what you do. Metrics are how you know it worked.

3) Target audience

Even internal projects have an audience. A team, a customer segment, a specific user persona, a client stakeholder.

Include:

  • who it’s for
  • what they care about
  • what pain point or job-to-be-done you’re targeting

This alone prevents a lot of “I thought we were building for…” debates.

4) Scope (in scope vs out of scope)

This is where scope creep goes to die.

A simple format works best:

In scope

  • what you will ship, change, or deliver

Out of scope

  • what you explicitly will not do, even if it sounds related

If you are unsure, still write a draft. It forces the conversation early, when it’s cheap.

5) Deliverables

Deliverables should be tangible outputs, not vague intentions.

Examples:

  • Figma designs (desktop and mobile)
  • final landing page copy
  • engineering build and QA
  • analytics events implemented in GA4
  • launch checklist, rollout plan, post launch report

6) Constraints, assumptions, and dependencies

This is the reality check section.

Include things like:

  • budget range
  • deadlines or fixed launch dates
  • tools or tech stack constraints
  • legal or brand approvals
  • dependencies on other teams, vendors, or data

The more honest you are here, the fewer surprises later.

7) Stakeholders and approvals

Who owns it, who contributes, and who approves.

If you don’t define approvals, the project usually ends up with surprise reviewers at the end. The worst time.

8) Timeline and milestones

Even if you don’t have exact dates, a suggested timeline is still useful.

Example:

  • discovery: 1 week
  • design: 1 week
  • build: 1 to 2 weeks
  • QA and launch: 1 week

Your brief can label these as “proposed” and refine later.

9) Risks and mitigations

This is not about being negative. It is just being prepared.

Common risks:

  • approval delays
  • unclear requirements
  • tracking not implemented correctly
  • underestimating effort
  • stakeholder misalignment

Pair each risk with a simple mitigation. That’s it.

Project brief vs project plan (people mix these up)

A project brief is for alignment and approval. It’s what you share early so everyone agrees on the destination.

A project plan is for execution. It includes tasks, owners, schedules, resourcing, and the day to day details.

In practice, a strong brief makes planning easier because half the thinking is already done.

When to use an AI project brief generator

This tool is useful when:

  • you have the idea, but the structure is missing
  • you need something stakeholder ready fast
  • you’re juggling multiple projects and want consistency
  • you want a one page version for quick approvals
  • you’re writing a client facing brief and need it to sound polished

If you already have a messy draft, you can paste it into the context fields and let the generator clean it up into a proper format.

And if you use multiple tools for writing and planning, you can keep everything in one place with the AI tools on WritingTools.ai.

A few small tips that make briefs way better

  • Write the goal so a stranger can judge success without asking you questions.
  • Put “out of scope” in plain language. No one reads legal sounding scope statements.
  • If approvals matter, list the approver names or roles up front.
  • Add acceptance criteria when possible. Even one line of “done means…” saves rework.

Frequently Asked Questions

A project brief is a short document that defines the project’s purpose, goals, scope, audience, deliverables, timeline, stakeholders, constraints, and success metrics. It helps teams align before work begins and reduces misunderstandings later.
