What is brief development?
• Dynamic process throughout practice
• Clearly describes a desired outcome
• Meets a need or realise an opportunity
• Physical and social environment
• Conceptual statement, what is to be done and why it should be done
• Serves as an evaluative tool
A guiding document
• Conceptual statement (oral, written, graphical means)
• Based on exploration/analysis of context and issue

performance - measurable• Can be progressed
Reverse psychology!
• Write down the physical and functional specifications, these are measurable.

• What are the attributes?
• How about possible contexts and issues
