A Project Brief is a document (or a page in a Coda doc!) that outlines the high-level aspects of a project so that there is alignment and solid communication before actually doing the work. You may be doing this in Google Docs, Confluence, or....uuhhmmm, not at all? The following outline is similar to the Project Brief in-doc template that you can use at any time, in any doc using the + or / in the canvas and the Explore menu in the top right.
