InfoD-Cafe: The brief is essential

[frascara at ualberta.ca]

For me the brief is fundamental. It is begun by myself, after a long  
meeting with the client and a couple of drafts. It states what the  
clients wants, what I promise to do, when I promise to do it, what the  
client's obligations are, and what are my deliverables. It is for me  
both my promise and my defense. I never lose it or stain it or crumple  
it.
