Product requirements document


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Product Requirements Document (PRD) is a document containing all the requirements to a certain product.
It is written to allow people to understand what a product should do. A PRD should, however, generally avoid
anticipating or defining how the product will do it in order to later allow engineers to use their expertise to
provide the optimal solution to the requirements.
PRDs are most frequently written for software products, but can be used for any type of product and also for
services. Typically, a PRD is created from a user's point-of-view by a user/client or a company's marketing
department (in the latter case it may also be called Marketing Requirements Document (MRD)). The
requirements are then being analysed by a (potential) maker/supplier from a more technical point-of-view,
broken down and detailed in a Functional Specification (sometimes also called Technical Requirements
Document).

Components
Typical components of a product requirements document (PRD) are:
Title & author information
Purpose and scope, from both a technical and business perspective
Stakeholder identification
Market assessment and target demographics
Product overview and use cases
Requirements, including
functional requirements (e.g. what a product should do)
usability requirements
technical requirements (e.g. security, network, platform, integration, client)
environmental requirements
support requirements
interaction requirements (e.g. how the product should work with other systems)
Assumptions
Constraints
High level workflow plans, timelines and milestones (more detail is defined through a project plan)
Evaluation plan and performance metrics
Not all PRDs have all of these components. In particular, PRDs for other types of products (manufactured
goods, etc.) will eliminate the software-specific elements from the list above, and may add in additional
elements that pertain to their domain, e.g. manufacturing requirements.
