Draft PRDs

Transform research insights into structured product requirements. Figr helps you create comprehensive PRDs that bridge user needs, business goals, and technical constraints.

​
PRD Generation Process

1

Insight Synthesis

Consolidate research findings:
Dashboard showing user research, competitive analysis, and business goals being consolidated
Input sources:
User Research:
- Interview findings and pain points
- Usability testing results
- Survey data and feedback
- Analytics and behavior data

Market Analysis:
- Competitive feature gaps
- Industry trends and patterns
- Market opportunity assessment
- User expectation benchmarks

Business Context:
- Strategic objectives
- Revenue targets
- Resource constraints
- Timeline requirements
2

Requirement Extraction

Generate specific requirements:
  • Functional Requirements
  • User Experience Requirements
  • Technical Requirements
Feature specifications:
- Core functionality definition
- User interaction patterns
- Data processing needs
- Integration requirements
- Performance criteria
3

Structure Generation

Create organized PRD framework:
High-level overview:
- Problem statement
- Solution approach
- Success metrics
- Resource requirements
- Timeline overview

Detailed specifications:
- As a [user type], I want [capability] so that [benefit]
- Given [context], when [action], then [expected result]
- Success criteria and edge cases
- Priority levels and dependencies

Implementation details:
- API requirements
- Database schema changes
- Third-party integrations
- Performance requirements
- Security considerations

AI-Assisted PRD Creation

Requirement Generation

AI extracts requirements from research:
  • Analyze user interview transcripts
  • Identify patterns in feedback data
  • Generate user stories from pain points
  • Suggest acceptance criteria
  • Prioritize based on user impact

Content Structuring

Intelligent document organization:
  • Auto-categorize requirements by type
  • Generate logical section structure
  • Create cross-references and dependencies
  • Suggest missing requirement areas
  • Maintain consistency across sections

​
Collaborative PRD Development

1

Multi-Stakeholder Input

Gather requirements from all perspectives:
  • Product Management
  • Engineering
  • Design
  • Business Stakeholders
PM contributions:
- Business case and market opportunity
- User journey mapping
- Feature prioritization
- Success metrics definition
- Competitive positioning
2

Iterative Refinement

Collaborative improvement process:
Review cycles:
1. Initial draft creation from research
2. Stakeholder review and feedback
3. Technical feasibility validation
4. Business alignment confirmation
5. Final approval and sign-off

Feedback integration:
- Comment-based suggestion system
- Version control for changes
- Decision rationale documentation
- Conflict resolution processes
3

Living Documentation

Keep PRDs current and actionable:
Maintenance practices:
- Regular review and updates
- Progress tracking integration
- Scope change documentation
- Lessons learned capture
- Post-launch evaluation

​

​
PRD Best Practices

1

User-Centric Focus

Keep user needs central:
✅ Start with user problems, not solutions
✅ Include real user quotes and feedback
✅ Validate assumptions with research
✅ Consider diverse user scenarios
✅ Plan for accessibility from the start
2

Evidence-Based Requirements

Ground requirements in data:
✅ Reference specific research findings
✅ Include quantitative supporting data
✅ Cite competitive analysis insights
✅ Document assumption validation plans
✅ Plan success measurement methods
3

Implementation Realism

Ensure feasible requirements:
✅ Validate technical feasibility early
✅ Consider resource constraints
✅ Plan for realistic timelines
✅ Account for dependencies
✅ Include risk mitigation strategies
