Project Brief: Required documents

How required fields on Project Brief can benefit you:

  • Customize required items per stage: What is considered essential information is going to vary from project-to-project as well as also stage-to-stage. These new enhancements give you the flexibility to craft Project Brief to match your individual stage requirements.
  • Enhanced document management: In addition to standard fields on Project Brief, you can now choose to make documents mandatory to be uploaded before a project can progress to the next stage. This could include a business case, work plan or any other document required for project success.
