Controlled Start Up: Project Brief

The Project Brief

The Project Brief is required to enable a project to progress from a good ideaor Feasibility Study to a formal request to the Project Board. The contents of the Project Brief will eventually be expanded into a Project Initiation Document (PID), which contains the detailedproject plan. However, this will only occur if the Project Board believes that the project is worthwhile, and viable.

The Project Brief is generally short and provides an overview of the proposedproject. When a Feasibility Study has taken place the Project Brief should refer to the Feasibility study rather than reproduce it. If considerable time has passed since the Feasibility Study was produced,it will be necessary to check the contents of the report still hold true.
