1-Pager Template

Free product management template for pitching initiatives and aligning teams. Concise one-page format helps product managers frame problems, opportunities, and ideas before building solutions.

Remember, not every piece of work requires a PRD. If it's 2 or more sprints (including iterations), then it probably does as a rough rule of thumb ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป.

  • PRDs = โ€œHow do we execute the solution to those problems?โ€ (feature-level plans)
  • Impact Assessment = โ€œWhat did we learnโ€
