Writing PRDs with Product Thinking

This comprehensive guide on writing PRDs with product thinking delves into essential elements for creating effective Product Requirement Documents. It covers product positioning by detailing the background from initial research to prototyping and highlights the objective of accurately conveying product details to the project team, including development, testing, and design. The guide emphasizes understanding user requirements for mainstream customers by focusing on product processes, features, logic, and interactions. It compares different product forms, noting the advantages of graphic-oriented tools like Axure over lengthy text documents. The four elements of product design—Scope Layer, Structural Layer, Framework Layer, and Presentation Layer—are thoroughly explained to enhance functionality, information architecture, interface design, and user experience. Additionally, the product framework section addresses change logs, product overview, requirement specifications, and non-functional specifications to ensure performance, reliability, and scalability. This structured approach aims to streamline PRD creation and improve project controllability and user satisfaction.
