The Project Brief & Scope Builder
DolceDrago 040 — a skill for the disagreement that should happen now
What it is
Builds the document that decides whether a project succeeds before it starts: objectives as measurable outcomes, scope itemized in AND out, acceptance criteria agreed up front, one named decider, surfaced assumptions, client-side dependencies with dates, and the change-control rule that keeps scope creep civilized. Use this before any project — agency work, internal initiatives, renovations, rollouts — or to rescue one drifting without a brief. Any industry, any size, any language.
What you receive
a complete, sign-off-ready project brief — measurable objectives, in-scope AND out-of-scope itemized, acceptance criteria, one named decider, and the change-control line
