−	Dear Client, In response to the concerns you have raised regarding time set aside in the project for briefing, I have prepared a short explanatory letter outlining our aims for the briefing process, risks associated with inadequate briefing, and our recommendations to clearly manage the briefing process moving forward. Aims of the briefing proces: Briefing is an evolutionary process of understanding an organisation’s needs and resources and matching these to its objectives and mission.

−	* Key to the success of the project is the alignment of all key project parameters – vision, need, space, time and budget.
