PRDs
There's debate in the Product community whether or not PRDs are still relevant.
As @johncutlefish points out, there is A LOT of other stuff that needs to happen before a PRD makes sense.
But they do matter.

@johncutlefish Simple PRD
The key is to keep it short and simple.
This template by @lennysan via @GergelyOrosz is a good start.

@johncutlefish @lennysan @GergelyOrosz Execution PRD
Most of product is execution.
This PRD from @kevinyien builds on the basics and adds in focus on alignment and cross-functional dependencies.

@johncutlefish @lennysan @GergelyOrosz @kevinyien @tapuzed Project Brief
This Project Brief used by Asana is an alternative to PRD.
It's useful when you need to get approval to work on a product/feature and just need to quickly summarize.
Most useful in organizations without a modern product management function.

@johncutlefish @lennysan @GergelyOrosz @kevinyien @tapuzed Retrospective
Continuous improvement is a key part of product development.
Anytime you finish up a project, release, or launch, assemble the team to figure out:
- What went well?
- What didn’t go well?
- Ideas for improvement
- Actions
Not doing can be a huge red flag 🚩

A good interview plan makes it feel seamless

@johncutlefish @lennysan @GergelyOrosz @kevinyien @tapuzed Interview Tracker
Keep the notes, transcriptions, and recordings in one place.
High probability you'll want to reference it later, or hire a new teammate that can learn a lot from your past efforts.
