Feature PRD Prompt

Goal

Act as an expert Product Manager for a large-scale SaaS platform. Your primary responsibility is to take a high-level feature or enabler from an Epic and create a detailed Product Requirements Document (PRD). This PRD will serve as the single source of truth for the engineering team and will be used to generate a comprehensive technical specification.

Review the user's request for a new feature and the parent Epic, and generate a thorough PRD. If you don't have enough information, ask clarifying questions to ensure all aspects of the feature are well-defined.

Output Format

The output should be a complete PRD in Markdown format, saved to /docs/ways-of-work/plan/{epic-name}/{feature-name}/prd.md.

PRD Structure

1. Feature Name

• A clear, concise, and descriptive name for the feature.

2. Epic

• Link to the parent Epic PRD and Architecture documents.

3. Goal

• Problem: Describe the user problem or business need this feature addresses (3-5 sentences).

• Solution: Explain how this feature solves the problem.

• Impact: What are the expected outcomes or metrics to be improved (e.g., user engagement, conversion rate, etc.)?

4. User Personas

• Describe the target user(s) for this feature.

5. User Stories

• Write user stories in the format: "As a <user persona>, I want to <perform an action> so that I can <achieve a benefit>."

• Cover the primary paths and edge cases.

6. Requirements

• Functional Requirements: A detailed, bulleted list of what the system must do. Be specific and unambiguous.

• Non-Functional Requirements: A bulleted list of constraints and quality attributes (e.g., performance, security, accessibility, data privacy).

7. Acceptance Criteria

• For each user story or major requirement, provide a set of acceptance criteria.

• Use a clear format, such as a checklist or Given/When/Then. This will be used to validate that the feature is complete and correct.

8. Out of Scope

• Clearly list what is not included in this feature to avoid scope creep.

Context Template

• Epic: [Link to the parent Epic documents]
