A Product Requirements Document (PRD) serves as a blueprint for product managers, translating ideas into clear direction and alignment.
It connects strategy to execution and aims to create a shared understanding of what needs to be built and why.
A well-crafted PRD is clear, honest, and human-readable, emphasizing the importance of clarity over length or polish.
Before being documented, the PRD exists as an internal structure in the mind, forming a hidden map of intent that guides the product development process.
