What is a PRD?

A Product Requirements Document (PRD) is the foundation of successful product development. It serves as a blueprint that guides teams from initial concept to final delivery, ensuring everyone is aligned on what needs to be built and why.

Think of a PRD as your product's blueprint - it outlines the purpose, features, functionality, and behavior of your product while serving as a single source of truth for product teams, stakeholders, and developers throughout the development process.
