About the PRD template
This PRD template provides an editable note-style area for documenting all of your product requirements in one place. Start by defining the product's overall vision, who it benefits, the use cases it addresses, and the core capabilities it provides. From there, delve into specific release, epic, and feature requirements. Use this template to ensure alignment with product goals and to give cross-functional teams a clear understanding of the scope of work.

How to use the PRD template
Fast-moving agile teams do not want to be bogged down by creating (and continuously updating) lengthy PRDs. But there are still plenty of scenarios where a PRD is imperative for aligning the team around what the product should do. For example, when defining a new product or feature, it is helpful to consolidate ideas, objectives, and requirements in one document. The same applies when communicating product direction to investors, partners, or sales teams. Use your PRD as a blueprint for guiding the development process and ensuring your product meets the initial requirements.
Best practices
Define what will be delivered in a new product, release, or feature set.
Choose your format
Start with the table that fits your needs best — product requirements, release requirements, epic requirements, or feature requirements. Outline the high-level direction and include objectives, assumptions, scope, and ownership.Layer in more specific details
Consider what cross-functional teammates need to do their jobs well. Add timing, milestones, and dependencies. Eliminate rows that may not be relevant to your plans.Invite collaborators to the note
Rather than prescribe exact product functionality and interactions, the goal is to inspire teammates with enough information to create elegant solutions. Ask the team to add comments, links, and questions directly in the note.Build out your plans
