The workflow

Choose the steps that fit your input. Inspect each skill’s source and prerequisites before using it, and review the actual output at every handoff.

01
Set the product decision
Define the outcome, audience and constraints before listing features. A strategy document should make the tradeoff you are considering easy to see.
Product Strategy
02
Connect people to opportunities
Use real research inputs for personas and connect customer problems to opportunities. Keep assumptions labelled when interviews or usage evidence are missing.
User Personas Opportunity Solution Tree
03
Write a bounded brief
Turn the selected opportunity into a PRD with scope, non-goals and a measurable outcome. Review it with the people who will design and build the product.
Create a PRD
04
Make the handoff concrete
Break the agreed scope into user stories and acceptance criteria. Use a small first release to expose missing states and dependencies.
