PRD Template
Create product requirements document
Overview
Generate comprehensive product requirements documents in under 3 minutes with user personas, functional requirements, success metrics, timelines, and go-to-market considerations for product launches and feature development.
Use Cases
- Document new SaaS features before sprint planning with complete requirements and acceptance criteria
- Create PRDs for mobile app features during quarterly planning cycles
- Generate product launch documentation for stakeholder approval and engineering handoff
- Write API feature specifications with technical and business requirements
- Build investor-ready PRDs for startup product proposals in lean or detailed formats
Benefits
- Save 4+ hours per PRD with structured template that includes all critical sections
- Generate complete user personas in 60 seconds instead of researching for hours
- Maintain consistent documentation format across product, engineering, and design teams
- Get stakeholder alignment faster with clear success metrics and go-to-market plans
- Reduce back-and-forth questions by including dependencies, risks, and resource requirements upfront
Template

Example Output
Here’s what this template generates when you document a mobile app offline mode feature:
The template produces a complete lean PRD including:
- Executive Summary: Clear problem statement and solution overview explaining the offline mode feature and its impact on user experience
- 3 User Personas: Detailed personas with specific use cases - like a field sales rep working from coffee shops, a project manager on flights, and a remote worker with unreliable internet
- 5 Core Use Cases: Scenarios from basic offline viewing to conflict resolution when syncing changes
- Prioritized Requirements: Functional and non-functional requirements marked as P0, P1, or P2 for sprint planning
- 13-Week Implementation Timeline: Milestone-based roadmap breaking down development phases
- Specific Success Metrics: Measurable targets like 25% DAU increase and 40% offline adoption rate
- Risk Mitigation Strategies: Technical risks (data sync conflicts, storage limits) and business risks (adoption, support costs) with mitigation plans
The lean format keeps the PRD focused on action items and decision-making, while the detailed option expands each section with more context and research.
Common Mistakes When Writing PRDs
Vague success metrics - Saying “improve user engagement” instead of defining specific KPIs like “increase 7-day retention from 42% to 55%” makes it impossible to measure success or prioritize features.
Missing the “why” - Listing requirements without explaining the underlying user problem creates confusion during implementation. Engineers and designers need context to make good trade-off decisions when building the feature.
Skipping dependencies - Forgetting to document API dependencies, third-party integrations, or prerequisite features leads to timeline surprises during development when teams discover blockers.
One-size-fits-all approach - Using the same PRD format for a quick bug fix and a multi-quarter platform migration wastes time. Match your PRD depth to the feature complexity - use one-pager for small features, detailed for major initiatives.
Writing for yourself - PRDs that only make sense to the author fail their primary job. Your PRD needs to work for engineers who’ll build it, designers who’ll spec it, QA who’ll test it, and stakeholders who’ll approve it.
Ignoring constraints - Not documenting technical constraints (API rate limits, browser compatibility, mobile OS versions) or business constraints (budget, timeline, team capacity) sets unrealistic expectations and creates friction later.
Frequently Used With
This template pairs well with these other prompts for complete product documentation:
- Feature Spec - Break down individual features from your PRD into detailed technical specifications
- User Story - Convert PRD requirements into sprint-ready user stories with acceptance criteria
- Roadmap Planning - Position your PRD within quarterly or annual product roadmap
- Release Notes - Document the feature after launch for users and stakeholders
- Success Metrics - Define and track the KPIs mentioned in your PRD
