THE PREP

Creating effective prompts involves tailoring them with detailed, relevant information and uploading documents that provide the best context. Prompts act as a framework to guide the response, but specificity and customization ensure the most accurate and helpful results. Use these prep tips to get the most out of this prompt:

  • Gather inputs from stakeholders, such as user research, technical feasibility assessments, and business objectives.

  • Define the scope and timeline of the project.

  • Review existing products or features for reference and ensure alignment with company goals.

THE PROMPT

Help create a comprehensive Product Requirement Document (PRD) for [specific feature or product]. Focus on:

  • User Personas: Including profiles of target users and their key pain points that the product addresses.

  • Requirements: Documenting functional, technical, and non-functional requirements, such as performance and accessibility standards.

  • User Workflows: Mapping out key workflows or use cases that demonstrate how users will interact with the product.

  • Success Metrics: Identifying measurable outcomes, such as adoption rates, task completion times, or user satisfaction scores, to evaluate success.

Provide recommendations for organizing and presenting the PRD, including templates or tools (e.g., Notion, Confluence, or Google Docs) for collaboration. If additional context about the product or target audience is needed, ask clarifying questions to tailor the document.
