Answering these questions will help you to describe your design brief:

Why is your project being undertaken?
What is the background of the problem that has prompted you to go ahead with your objective?
What is required?
What are the goals and objectives?
What are your budget opportunities?
Who should be involved in your project?
What will your team members be responsible for?
What resources are available?
Will your tasks require detailed supervision?
When should the project start and finish?
What are the specific dates of each phase?
Where and how should the project be carried out?
What methodologies are required to analyze the information?
What are the timeframes for the completion?
What can performance indicators be helpful in evaluating the result?
Who will manage the reporting requirements?
Who needs the final report?

The key elements of design briefs:

1. The company profile
2. Project overview
3. Objectives/ goals and purpose
4. Target audience
5. Design requirements
6. Budget and schedule

Particularly for the government/public sector, the PM should be considered in what extent the final beneficiary is willing to adopt the new paradigm of digital transformation in this computational/cloud/big data era in order to eliminate/decrease its bureaucracy and related issues as the ivory tower approach!
Without, however, the all above will be in vain and the main scope of any programme/project in this sector will be doomed to failure in terms of objectives, timelines, budget resources and so on..
