A good design brief is
essential to creating a
successful project and a
strong case study for your
UX portfolio.

So, let's find out how to get your first

ideas with ChatGPT and how to make
your first fictional project brief.
But before that:
Let’s turn on ChatGPT’s engine.

Use "temperature" parameter value of 2 in
our conversation

Sure, I'm happy to use a temperature value

of 2 for our conversation.

Just to clarify, when we refer to

temperature value in language modelling, it
represents the degree of randomness or
creativity in the responses generated by
the model.

A higher temperature value will result in

more diverse and unpredictable responses,
while a lower temperature value will result
in more conservative and predictable
responses.

So, with a temperature value of 2, the

responses generated may be somewhat
unpredictable but still coherent and
meaningful.
Now, let's get creative!

2. Explaining the problem you're facing:


When presenting a problem to a UX
designer, it's important to provide all
relevant information that can help them
understand the issue.

This could include details such as a

drop in conversions despite high user
engagement, or any other factors that
could be impacting your site or app.

Be sure to outline your objectives and

explain the problem thoroughly, but
avoid prescribing a specific solution.

This will allow the UX designer to

approach the problem with fresh eyes
and come up with the best possible
solution for your needs.
2. Problem Explanation:

As a business owner in the medical cannabis

industry, we have identified a critical problem
that many dispensaries face. Managing
inventory, tracking sales, and providing
personalized recommendations to patients are
complex and time-consuming tasks.
Additionally, the lack of a comprehensive
system to handle these processes can lead to
operational inefficiencies, regulatory non-
compliance, and suboptimal patient
experiences.

Many dispensaries are still using outdated

methods or disjointed systems, which fail to
provide an integrated approach to address
these challenges. As a result, there is a
growing need for an all-in-one solution that
not only streamlines these processes but also
offers a high level of customization and
compliance to meet the unique requirements
of the medical cannabis industry.
Our objectives are to
Streamline inventory management and
sales tracking for medical cannabis
dispensaries
Provide AI-driven personalized
recommendations to patients based on
their medical conditions and preferences
Ensure compliance with local and federal
regulations
Enhance the overall user experience for
both dispensaries and their patients.

We seek a UX designer who can help us

develop an intuitive and user-friendly app that
addresses these issues while delivering an
exceptional user experience. We would like
the designer to carefully analyze the problem,
conduct user research, and develop a solution
that best meets the needs of our target
audience without imposing specific design
ideas or constraints.
Now, use the following
prompts to finish your brief:
3. Be clear about what's in scope and
what's out:

This section outlines the work to be done,

so it's important to be as specific and
informative as possible from the outset.

Responsibility should be established

upfront, particularly if a full website or app
redesign is planned, to ensure clarity on
who is delivering image assets and text. If
you're expecting the designers to deliver
illustrations as part of the project, this
should also be made clear.

Additionally, if you already have some of

the assets, inform the designers to ensure
they have a comprehensive understanding
of the project. ...→
 To break down the scope of work, it's
helpful to divide it into three stages
Tasks that must be completed (with
reasons for their importance
Tasks that may be included (if there is
budget remaining or if priorities change
after user research
Tasks that are not in scope

Question no.4:

 4. Target audience:

When describing the target audience

for your project, it's important to be as
specific as possible.

If you have already conducted user

research and developed user
personas, be sure to include this
information in your brief.

By addressing pain points and

challenges upfront, you can minimize
the need for fixes later on in the
project.

Daily UI/UX Tips Repost
Question
5. Project objectives and goals:

In this section, it's important to outline

both the general goals and specific
objectives of the project.

Goals are associated with the overall

success of the project, while
objectives are more specific and
granular, and relate directly or
indirectly to the goal in question.

When phrasing goals, it's helpful to use

the SMART methodology, which
stands for Specific, Measurable,
Achievable, Relevant, and Time-based.
This ensures that goals are well-
defined and realistic, with clear metrics
for success.
 Question no. 6:

6. Deliverables:

Project deliverables encompass both

the UX work, such as user personas,

user flows, and journey mapping, as

well as technical aspects such as

format, size, and resolutions needed.

When it comes to UI screens, it's also

important to specify if a handoff is

required for the developer team,

which includes comprehensive

project documentation that provides

all the information developers need

to code the project with minimal

delays.

 Question no. 7:

7. Timings:

It's important to establish clear

deadlines and milestones for the
project.

This includes listing any currently

known deadlines, as well as
expected project start and delivery
dates.

If filling in this information before the

team is assembled, be sure to
include the expected project start
date.

8. How much your budget is:

When discussing your project, it's

important to establish a clear
budget from the outset.

By doing so, we can work together

to determine the best possible
solution that aligns with your
budgetary constraints.

This helps to avoid the wasted time

and effort of developing a response
that is too expensive, while also
allowing for the consideration of
different solutions at different price
points.

9. Communication and internal
processes:

Effective communication and clear

internal processes are essential for
the success of any project.

As such, it's important to identify

the main stakeholders involved in
the project, as well as the primary
decision-maker and their desired
level of involvement.

 Disclaimer
When using ChatGPT, it's
important to view it as just one
tool among many in your design
toolkit.

ChatGPT should be used as a starting

point or a supplement to your overall UX
design process, rather than a substitute
for thoughtful research and exploration.

So, take from this carousel only what

you feel it might work for you, and
change, add, remove or even disregard
the rest.
