A useful way through
- Choose the first user task the app must support. Write the starting point, intended outcome and information needed to complete it.
- Describe empty, loading, error and completed states. If a task depends on a network connection, specify how a connection failure is communicated.
- Agree target platforms, data responsibilities and the release route with the development team. Identify what must be checked against the platforms’ current requirements.
- Write acceptance scenarios before approving a quote. Include a normal journey, an invalid input and an interrupted journey, plus the handover and maintenance responsibilities.

Put it into practice
For an appointment request, a successful screen is only one state. The brief should also describe a missing required field, an unavailable time and a request that could not be delivered. Those scenarios give the team something observable to test.
Illustrative example, not a reported client project or test.
Your take-away checklist
An app brief needs more than a list of screens
- □ First user task: ____________________
- □ Required information: ____________________
- □ States and failure paths: ____________________
- □ Platform and data responsibilities: ____________________
- □ Acceptance and handover: ____________________
Before you act
This guide does not prescribe a software framework or claim compliance with an app store’s current policies. Verify those requirements for the chosen platform and release date.
