1. Requirement Gathering Process
Timeframe: 1.25 - 2.25 Weeks
Step 1: Stakeholder Alignment
Timeframe: 1–2 days
Purpose:
Meet with stakeholders (product, engineering, integrations) to understand high-level goals and prioritize features.
Output:
Initial list of requirements, prioritized based on impact and feasibility.
Step 2: Discovery and Research
Timeframe: 1–2 weeks (depending on complexity)
Purpose:
Conduct research, gather input, analyze existing data, and review constraints.
Output:
Refined list of requirements with supporting data, initial technical considerations, and key dependencies identified.
2. PRD Development
Timeframe: 1–2 weeks
Step 1: Initial Draft
Timeframe: 1 week
Purpose:
Write the initial PRD with high-level requirements and user stories.
Collaborate with engineering to identify potential challenges, key dependencies, and scope.
Output:
Draft PRD ready for review.
Step 2: LOE and High-Level Design Review
Timeframe: 1–1.5 weeks
Purpose:
Collaborate with engineering to refine requirements.
Create a high-level design and task breakdown.
Estimate the Level of Effort (LOE) for development, integration, and testing.
Output:
Updated PRD with detailed LOE estimates, risks, and dependencies.
High-level design and task breakdown.
3. Jira Ticket Creation and Task Breakdown
Timeframe: 1–3 Days
Purpose:
Engineering creates Jira tickets based on PRD requirements and the implementation plan.
Ensure tasks are actionable and aligned with the roadmap and PRD deliverables.
Output:
Jira tickets with clear requirements, task ownership, and dependencies, ready for sprint planning and execution.
