Design Sprint Brief
Produce the brief that aligns the team on challenge, sprint questions, participants, customer recruiting, prototype medium, interview format, logistics, and success criteria before Monday begins. A well-built brief prevents Monday morning from opening with re-litigation of "what are we testing this week?"; a missing or vague brief almost guarantees it.

When to Use
- The readiness verdict from
tool-design-sprint-readinessis Go (or Conditional Go with preconditions cleared). - The sprint has dates blocked on calendars and you need the artifact that names what the sprint is for.
- The team has customer recruiting active and you need to commit a recruiting plan, honorarium budget, and Friday schedule before recruiting closes.
- A skeptical exec wants to know "what is the team doing for five days plus customer cost?" and you need an answer that fits on two pages.
