The product requirements document (PRD) is a central document used to align all stakeholders (product management, engineering, QA, designers, and leadership) on how we will solve a specific problem with the proposed solution.

When creating the PRD, provide just as much information as needed and nothing more. If the document is too long and complex, it will quickly become outdated, and readers will lose interest.

In this latest iteration of the Unified Compliance PRD template, we changed the template to help raise visibility of how the proposed product (or feature set) adheres to Unified Compliance’s strategic plan including details on why this product proposal is important to Unified Compliance.

The intent of this section is for the following:

Scope Definition: defines the scope of the proposed product (or features), including what will and will not be included helping manage expectations and focus development efforts.

Guideline for Development: provides detailed information on the product’s features, functionalities, user flow, and interface to guide the development team in building the productsection focusses on the details of the solution including what is in scope, what is out of scope and additional information to help in the product and engineering collaboration process.

The intent of this section is for the following:

Technical Risk Mitigation: Identifies potential technical risks and propose mitigation strategies.

Launch Readiness: launch checklist including high-level go-to-market plan to ensure cross-departmental alignmentmostly focused on getting the solution “out the door” and who else is affected outside the product and engineering teams.
