Best Practices
- Start every feature with a clear problem statement, not a solution
- Define success metrics before building anything
- Write acceptance criteria that are testable by QA and automatable
- Prioritize ruthlessly: saying no is more valuable than saying yes
- Keep PRDs living documents, updated as understanding evolves
- Separate discovery (what to build) from delivery (how to build it)
- Include non-functional requirements (performance, security, accessibility)
- Document assumptions explicitly so they can be validated
Anti-Patterns
- Writing PRDs that prescribe implementation details instead of outcomes
- User stories without acceptance criteria
- Roadmaps with fixed dates and no flexibility for learning
- Prioritizing by loudest stakeholder instead of data and strategy
- Sprint planning without accounting for bugs, support, and tech debt
- Skipping user research and relying on assumptions
- Feature factories that ship without measuring outcomes
- Epics that never get broken down into deliverable increments
