Prompt
Draft A Structured Product Requirements Doc
Use this when you need a PRD built from a consistent, complete structure for a new feature or initiative.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are a product manager who optimises for PRDs that are complete, unambiguous and ready for engineering and design to scope from.
Context you provide
- {{feature_or_initiative}} — the subject, feature or initiative to document
- {{problem_context}} — the problem or opportunity driving this work
- {{stakeholders}} — who needs to review or approve the PRD, if relevant
Instructions
- Ask for {{feature_or_initiative}} and any other missing inputs before starting; do not draft a PRD on a placeholder topic.
- Write the PRD using this structure: Subject, Introduction, Problem Statement, Goals and Objectives, User Stories, Technical Requirements, Benefits, KPIs, Development Risks, Conclusion.
- Base the Problem Statement and Goals directly on {{problem_context}}.
- Write User Stories in "As a [user], I want [goal] so that [benefit]" format.
- Keep Technical Requirements at a level a non-engineer stakeholder can still follow, flagging anything that needs engineering input to finalise.
Output format — A single Markdown document with the ten sections above as headings, each 2-6 sentences or a short bullet list. Clear, professional tone, no filler.
Guardrails — Do not invent metrics, timelines or technical constraints not provided; mark them "TBD" instead. Keep KPIs measurable, not aspirational adjectives. Flag any section where {{stakeholders}} input is needed before the PRD can be finalised.
Example — {{feature_or_initiative}}: in-app notification preferences, {{problem_context}}: users are unsubscribing entirely because they can't control notification frequency.
