Does anyone have a template for a Product Requirement Document

I have been searching for the same info, although I must say, I am getting confused since many of the terms are used interchangeably (Product Requirements Doc, SRS, etc.).

It is PACKED with template links and resources. Let me know if you find one that works...I still need to do this too!

Your best bet would be to develop a Marketing Requirements Document (MRD), which is kind of what you explained above.

What has worked for me is the following process:

Step 1: Understand The Customers Pain

• What do they do now?
• Who are their customers?
• Survey the entire ecosystem

Step 2: Understand Your Competitors

• Current Product Offerings
• Competitor Roadmaps
• Research trade journals and papers

Step 3: The Essence of The Product

• Brainstorm Descriptive Words
• Describe The Pain
• Solve The Pain
• Show Why Your Different

Step 4: Craft Core Requirements

• Define The What, Not The How
• Run Usage Scenarios
• Keep Refining The Core

Step 5: Define Nice To Haves

• Be disciplined about not adding too many features
• Challenge your assumptions
• Include the next revisions features

Step 6: Layout The Business Case

• Figure out your costs
• Understand the market demand
• Define how your business or product will succeed

Step 7: Send Out For Review

Find someone that you trust and have them review your draft MRD. The best reviewers are ones that can give you constructive, tough feedback.

Step 8: Repeat And Refine As Necessary

It will take many iterations to get this right so be flexible and open with comments and try an incorporate as much detail as you can.
