Hi, again. We've covered the basics of sprint planning.

Now, let's build a five-day design sprint brief.

The sprint brief is a document that you'll share with

all your attendees to help them prepare for the sprint.

Let's check out the things that

make up a design sprint brief.

Start with the design sprint challenge.

This introduces your team to the sprint objectives.

Think back to the cycling app from earlier.

If you created a brief for that sprint,

the design challenge might be build exciting new features

for the cycling app in time

for relaunch later in the year.

Next, you need to identify the key deliverables,

meaning what your team actually wants

to create by the end of the sprint.

For the cycling app,

you might say that we want to have

a complete prototype that includes the feature update.

Then it's on to logistics.

First, everyone participating in the sprint needs

to know where the sprint will

happen and when it will be held.

You also want to list who's

attending and the name of the sprint master.

Usually, the sprint master is

the person who sends out the brief,

but that's not always the case.

If you want to designate a sprint master,

you should do it before you send the brief.

Next, add approvers.

Got some higher-ups that need to sign

off on the product before launch?

This is the place to note it.

If your cycling app needs the official approval of

Ms. Cycling Enthusiast CEO before launching,

the sprint brief should mention it.

Your sprint brief should

also include a list of resources.

For short-term sprints, there's

probably a team already assigned to this project.

For long-term sprints, you may need to create

a plan to secure additional resources.

For example, with the cycling app,

you might need to assign resources from

engineering to take on

the work needed to launch the new feature.

Next, we have the project overview

where you should explain the current

state of the project,

call out roadblocks that stand in your way,

state early wins if you have any,

and outline the estimated launch plan.

Finally, you wrap it all up with a sprint schedule,

an hour-by-hour schedule of

the five-day sprint, including break times.

This lets people know what to

expect and gives them time to prep,

so you can keep things moving along during the sprint.

You're done! You've planned

your design sprint and created your brief.

The only thing left to do now

is to put the sprint in motion.

If you're still a little confused

about what goes in the design brief,

you'll find some great examples in the readings.

Next up, we'll learn more about the role of

an entry-level UX designer in the sprint process.
