PRD Writing

Create clear, implementation-ready product requirements documents for initiatives that need alignment before coding.

The Process

Step 1: Confirm PRD is needed

Use PRD only if at least one is true:

• cross-team dependency
• multi-sprint scope
• high-risk decision or expensive tradeoff
• stakeholder alignment needed before build

If none apply, recommend execution-first flow (writing-plans -> tdd -> verification) instead.

Step 2: Gather required inputs

Collect:

• product goal and target user
• business context and constraints
• known assumptions and risks
• success criteria and timeline

State explicit assumptions when inputs are missing.

Step 3: Produce PRD in required format

Use this exact structure:

# [Product Name]

## About
[High-level overview of the product and goal.]

## Market Insights
[Market context, competitors, trends, and target users.]

## Problem
[Core user problem, pain points, and why existing solutions are insufficient.]

## Solution
[Proposed AI product solution and how it addresses the problem.]

## Feature Prioritization

| Feature | Reach | Impact | Confidence | Effort | RICE Score | Priority |
|---------|-------|--------|------------|--------|------------|----------|
|         |       |        |            |        |            |          |
|         |       |        |            |        |            |          |
|         |       |        |            |        |            |          |

## Requirements

**Functional Requirements:**
- FR1:

## Challenges
[Key product, technical, data, and go-to-market challenges.]

## Positioning

| Use Case | Target User | Key Benefit | Differentiator |
|----------|-------------|-------------|----------------|
|          |             |             |                |
|          |             |             |                |
|          |             |             |                |

## Metrics
[Success metrics and north star metric.]

## Rollout Plan

- **Stakeholders & Communication**
  - [Stakeholder groups and communication plan]

- **Roll-out Strategy**
  - [Launch phases, gating criteria, and post-GA plan]
