The ultimate collection of PRD templates

I love collecting PRD's because they give an insight into Product Discovery at some of the top teams. In this post I briefly review each, and share my highlights. If you have a great PRD template that I should add, or if there's a newer version, let me know…

The Figma PRD template remains my favorite, though (and now we know more about how Figma builds products):

👀 How to Build a Quick and Powerful Stakeholder Map

Great video from Anthony Murphy.

Working at a large corporate, I have learned that this sort of mapping is super-critical to getting stuff done across the org.

A common saying in #productmanagement is “#productmanagers own the ‘what’ and engineers own the ‘how’ ”. While this saying is broadly true, in the real-world there’s a space of overlap where:

When I brought up that the ideas of "desirability, viability, and feasibility" should be maintained into delivery, people said they were too high-level concepts - but I disagree. These ideas *must* cascade down to delivery, or teams won't be working towards valuable outcomes. 🧵

The cascade of responsibilities

Opportunity and feasibility inform the experience

Who's George?

I’m an underdog product manager.

Product management in New Zealand (where I live) is still a relatively immature discipline. I also came into it late via data science and UX. I may be older than others, but I often feel like a rookie.

To become better at my craft, I learn and explore new ideas relentlessly.

Then I share high-quality, tried-and-true ideas that can be used right away.

How I can help you:

If you want to feel smarter, I’ve compiled my best actionable finds in prodmgmt.world.
If you need to figure out prioritization in your role, get The Big Book of Prioritization.

See you next week.

— George.
