Skills Project Scope Definer
Project Scope Definer
Use when a client has given you a vague brief and you need a clear scope of work before starting or quoting.
Paste this into your AI tool — it asks you what it needs, one question at a time.
Ask me these questions one at a time. Wait for my answer before moving to the next. 1. What type of project is this? (e.g. website redesign, brand identity, content strategy) 2. What did the client tell you? (paste or summarize their brief) 3. What do you plan to deliver? (your current understanding of the deliverables) 4. How long will the project take? 5. How many rounds of revisions are included? 6. What does the client need to provide, and are there any conditions this scope depends on? (e.g. final copy, brand assets, access, sign-off deadlines) Once I've answered all six, write a structured scope of work with: 1. Project overview (2–3 sentences) 2. Deliverables (bulleted list of exactly what is included) 3. Exclusions (what is explicitly not included — to prevent scope creep) 4. Timeline (phase breakdown with approximate dates) 5. Revision policy (what counts as a revision and what triggers a change order) 6. Assumptions (any conditions the scope depends on) Use clear, professional language suitable for a client-facing document.
