What is a Technical Brief?

A technical brief will be written by the technical people. (Aridecan right now). And they will take the creative briefs and the feature briefs and describe the technology used to achieve that feature. For instance since we'll be using Unreal Engine 5.x and we have attributes, the technical brief will describe how we'll use the Gameplay Attribute System (GAS) that is part of Unreal Engine. If we have a need for pseudo random number generators, the technical brief will describe the algorithm used to create the random number generator. Things like that. Technical briefs are not for describing features, and what features do, but instead describe how we will achieve that feature.


Think of Creative Briefs as high level requirements, and Feature Briefs as low level requirements, and Technical Briefs as design documents. The important part is that the Technical Brief is brief it does not need to describe everything, just new and complex algorithms that should be thought out before implementation.
