In this episode of The Product Handbook, we break down the Product Requirements Document — the sometimes-feared, often-misunderstood artifact that can make or break alignment in product teams.

You’ll learn:

• What a PRD actually is and what it should (and shouldn’t) include
• How to write requirements that are clear, testable, and user-focused — without overloading your team with fluff
• When to lean on a PRD and when to go lighter with user stories, specs, or async updates
• Common pitfalls in PRD writing and how modern tools, including AI, can help you avoid them

Whether you’re shipping your first feature or working across multiple teams, this episode gives you the confidence to create documentation that supports velocity instead of slowing it down.
