PRD template for platform features

The product requirements template engineers on my team actually read: problem first, measurable outcomes, explicit non-goals.

Product discovery

Why this template works

It makes the problem and the measure of success impossible to skip, and it says what we are not doing.

Sections

  1. Problem: who has it, evidence, cost of doing nothing
  2. Outcome: the metric that moves, and by how much
  3. Non-goals
  4. Users and scenarios
  5. Requirements (must, should, could)
  6. Risks and open questions
  7. Launch plan and rollback
