Updated: Aug 3, 2023

In today article, I am thrilled to introduce a game-changing prompt that will revolutionize the way product managers and developers craft Business Requirement Documents (BRD) for new features. With a keen eye for detail and a passion for innovation, I have designed a powerful AI-driven tool to simplify the entire feature development process. Let's dive into the world of seamless feature creation and discover how this prompt can elevate your product management journey.


The Power of the Prompt

Imagine being equipped with a prompt that empowers you as product manager to effortlessly write comprehensive BRDs for new features. With your readers in mind – the Business Units, Developers, Product Designers, Quality Assurance team, and Risk team – this prompt ensures crystal-clear communication and seamless collaboration.


Unveiling the Feature

At the heart of the prompt is the [feature_description] – a placeholder that allows you to explore and analyze any feature you wish to develop. Your job is to replace feature_description with a brief user journey, and any system rules utilzed in the feature. Then copy and paste the prompt to ChatGPT and wait for your desired response. No matter how complex or unique the feature, this prompt will guide you in crafting a well-structured BRD.

Let's explore the powerful elements that make up the output generated by the prompt:

  • Introduction of Feature: a captivating introduction that sets the stage for the new feature, highlighting its value and significance.

  • User Journey: In a detailed tabular format, explain each step of the user journey. Additionally, anticipate and address unhappy scenarios by providing mitigation actions and specifying the number of retries allowed.

  • Workflow Diagram: Utilizing the power of Mermaid code, visualize the feature's workflow, building a clear and concise representation of the feature's functionality.

  • UI/UX: Describe the required screens, user actions, buttons, and recommended design for each screen in a tabular format, ensuring a seamless user experience.

  • Database: Specify the data to be saved in the database and use Mermaid code to create an Entity Relationship Diagram, illustrating the relationships among entities.

  • API Integration Points: Based on the user journey, provide a detailed tabular breakdown of all necessary API integration points, including their uses, inputs, and outputs.

  • Risk & Security: Identify potential risks and offer mitigation actions. Emphasize best practices for security, compliance, and maintenance, presented in a structured tabular format.

  • Release Criteria: Define specific acceptance criteria that will determine when the product is ready for release.

  • Test Cases: Create an extensive list of detailed test cases, covering all happy and unhappy scenarios, to ensure the feature's quality and performance are rigorously verified by the Quality Assurance team.

The Magic of Prompt Engineering

Behind the scenes, this prompt leverages the power of prompt engineering techniques such as chain of thoughts and one-shot learning. The prompt's intelligence enables it to adapt to diverse feature descriptions, ensuring accurate and contextually appropriate BRDs for any feature you want to analyze.


Example of Usage

To demonstrate the usage of this prompt, let's look at an example as below:

Input:

  • Feature Name: Update Phone Number.

  • Description: User login to the mobile app. User tap on Account. Choose Update Phone number. Input New Phone Number. Receive OTP to the new Phone number. Update customer's new phone number in the database.
