Review with stakeholders
Version control in your PM tool

Core Workflows

Feature Prioritization Process

Gather Feature Requests
- Customer feedback
- Sales requests
- Technical debt
- Strategic initiatives
Score with RICE
```
# Create CSV with: name,reach,impact,confidence,effort
python scripts/rice_prioritizer.py features.csv
```
- Reach: Users affected per quarter
- Impact: massive/high/medium/low/minimal
- Confidence: high/medium/low
- Effort: xl/l/m/s/xs (person-months)
Analyze Portfolio
- Review quick wins vs big bets
- Check effort distribution
- Validate against strategy
Generate Roadmap
- Quarterly capacity planning
- Dependency mapping
- Stakeholder alignment

Customer Discovery Process

Conduct Interviews
- Use semi-structured format
- Focus on problems, not solutions
- Record with permission
Analyze Insights
```
python scripts/customer_interview_analyzer.py transcript.txt
```
Extracts:
- Pain points with severity
- Feature requests with priority
- Jobs to be done
- Sentiment analysis
- Key themes and quotes
Synthesize Findings
- Group similar pain points
- Identify patterns across interviews
- Map to opportunity areas
Validate Solutions
- Create solution hypotheses
- Test with prototypes
- Measure actual vs expected behavior

PRD Development Process

Choose Template
- Standard PRD: Complex features (6-8 weeks)
- One-Page PRD: Simple features (2-4 weeks)
- Feature Brief: Exploration phase (1 week)
- Agile Epic: Sprint-based delivery
Structure Content
- Problem → Solution → Success Metrics
- Always include out-of-scope
- Clear acceptance criteria
Collaborate
- Engineering for feasibility
- Design for experience
- Sales for market validation
- Support for operational impact

Prioritization Frameworks

RICE Framework

Score = (Reach × Impact × Confidence) / Effort

Reach: # of users/quarter
Impact: 
  - Massive = 3x
  - High = 2x
  - Medium = 1x
  - Low = 0.5x
  - Minimal = 0.25x
Confidence:
  - High = 100%
  - Medium = 80%
  - Low = 50%
Effort: Person-months

Value vs Effort Matrix

         Low Effort    High Effort
         
High     QUICK WINS    BIG BETS
Value    [Prioritize]   [Strategic]
         
Low      FILL-INS      TIME SINKS
Value    [Maybe]       [Avoid]

MoSCoW Method

Must Have: Critical for launch
Should Have: Important but not critical
Could Have: Nice to have
Won't Have: Out of scope

Discovery Frameworks

Metrics & Analytics

North Star Metric Framework

Identify Core Value: What's the #1 value to users?
Make it Measurable: Quantifiable and trackable
Ensure It's Actionable: Teams can influence it
Check Leading Indicator: Predicts business success

Funnel Analysis Template

Acquisition → Activation → Retention → Revenue → Referral

Key Metrics:
- Conversion rate at each step
- Drop-off points
- Time between steps
- Cohort variations

Feature Success Metrics

Adoption: % of users using feature
Frequency: Usage per user per time period
Depth: % of feature capability used
Retention: Continued usage over time
Satisfaction: NPS/CSAT for feature

Best Practices

Writing Great PRDs

Start with the problem, not solution
Include clear success metrics upfront
Explicitly state what's out of scope
Use visuals (wireframes, flows)
Keep technical details in appendix
Version control changes

Effective Prioritization

Mix quick wins with strategic bets
Consider opportunity cost
Account for dependencies
Buffer for unexpected work (20%)
Revisit quarterly
Communicate decisions clearly

Customer Discovery Tips

Ask "why" 5 times
Focus on past behavior, not future intentions
Avoid leading questions
Interview in their environment
Look for emotional reactions
Validate with data

Stakeholder Management

Identify RACI for decisions
Regular async updates
Demo over documentation
Address concerns early
Celebrate wins publicly
Learn from failures openly

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

Solution-First Thinking: Jumping to features before understanding problems
Analysis Paralysis: Over-researching without shipping
Feature Factory: Shipping features without measuring impact
Ignoring Technical Debt: Not allocating time for platform health
Stakeholder Surprise: Not communicating early and often
Metric Theater: Optimizing vanity metrics over real value
