What a PRD is for

A product requirements document (PRD) aligns the team on what you’re building, why, and for whom. It’s the reference that engineering, design, and stakeholders return to, so it should be clear, specific, and easy to update.

What to include

A good PRD typically covers the problem and context, goals and success metrics, the target user, the requirements or solution, scope (what’s in and explicitly out), open questions, and dependencies. Keep it focused — clarity beats length.

A simple structure

Start with the problem and goals so everyone understands the why. Then describe the solution and requirements, define scope, and list open questions and risks. End with how success will be measured. Use a template so every PRD is consistent.

Common mistakes to avoid

Avoid writing requirements without the problem behind them, leaving scope ambiguous, or letting the PRD go stale after kickoff. The best PRDs stay connected to the tasks that implement them and get updated as decisions change.
