Writing Effective Product Requirements Documents

A well-written Product Requirements Document (PRD) is essential for successful product development. In this guide, we'll explore the key elements that make a PRD truly effective.

Key Elements of an Effective PRD

1. Clear Problem Statement

Start with a clear, concise statement of the problem you're solving. This helps align the team and provides context for all requirements that follow.

2. User Stories and Use Cases

Document how users will interact with the product:

• Who are the primary users?
• What are their main goals?
• How will they achieve these goals?

3. Technical Requirements

Break down the technical requirements into clear, actionable items:

interface Feature {
  id: string;
  priority: 'high' | 'medium' | 'low';
  description: string;
  acceptanceCriteria: string[];
}
