Document Architecture

Organize every PRD around these core sections. Adapt the depth of each section to the complexity of the initiative.

The Problem Frame

Ground the entire document in a clearly articulated problem:

• Identify the specific user pain point in concrete, observable terms
• Quantify who suffers from this problem and at what frequency
• Articulate the consequences of inaction: lost revenue, user attrition, operational burden, or competitive exposure
• Anchor claims in evidence drawn from support tickets, user interviews, behavioral data, or market signals

Desired Outcomes

Translate the problem into 3-5 measurable targets:

• Frame each outcome around observable change: behavior shifts, efficiency gains, error reduction
• Separate user-facing outcomes (what improves for the customer) from organizational outcomes (what the business gains)
