Best PRD Template?

Best PRD Template?- Grapevine

Can someone share any real Prd because i am writing prd for a website and it is crossing 30 pages is that okay?

Real PRD

I recently transitioned from an intern to a FTE in a startup. I'm working on a SaaS product as an APM.

I have been taking up a lot of work, interacting with devs, QA, designers but neither do I feel that my manager notices what all I'm working on, nor does he seem satisfied by my work. (All my PRDs need to be refined 3-4 times 😢).

I'm afraid of negative reviews and more about the job itself. I rejected 2 of my campus offers, one of them being at an IB, to join this startup, but things don't seem to be going that great.

Workload is not an issue, I'm willing to take up more things, atleast as of now, but I feel that my manager doesn't let me pick more items as he feels that I'm not performing upto the mark writing the PRDs.

Could you guys please help me with it? I actually need some guidance around the same.

Manager not satisfied with work

Hey all , I actually have many questions but as of now I am only going with the three , I am pretty sure those who are product managers especially in tech are understanding the roles in their own defined way 

1. Which part of your role is most exhausting , is it working with cross functional teams or taking approval from leadership for executing your features rather than pre defined roadmap ?

2. What does that mean if someone says product management is rewarding career ? (Monetary or professional growth ;)

3. How does this role is going to evolve in next 2-4 years 

Let's see what my fellow VINERS think about this role...

Which part of your PMing you find most mind daunting

My tech team is blaming prds for delayed delivery of projects. But i am not sure if this is even a correct expectation. The design file had complete flows and written guidelines. Tech team said they wanted that level of clarity in the prd as well. What should i do? Btw We are a startup.

Senior Product Manager

Hi,
I am a final year B.Tech student from Tier 1.5 college. Finding my way hard through SDE opportunities.
I was thinking of going for Product Roles (Management/Analyst/Consultant). I have good business acumen and worked in management, content creation fields in college societies, but how can I enter into Product roles. 

Please help me guide through what steps I should be taking regarding preparing my resume, LinkedIn profile, applying to off-campus opportunities(domestic/abroad).
Any inputs appreciated 🙏🙏

Plase guide me for Product Roles

I’ve worked at multiple orgs:
1. Sometimes prd are written for the sake of it. Contains no details. Usually engineers closely work with pm and implement stuff
2. In other scenario active discussion happen on prd and then stakeholders meet and take final call
3. In some orgs prds are just less of prds and more of timeline docs. 

What do you guys prefer?

What do you do once you’ve written the prd?

Hello to the Great PMs of Grapevine, I wanted to know what are the best resources you follow for PM Interview prep. The resources are so scattered and it's very difficult and Taxing to prepare. I am using the Exponent YouTube videos. Let's make this post a repository of the best resources for the betterment of everyone.

Best Resources for Product Interview Prep

I'm a PM with 2.5+ years of experience. I have a habit of reading product management newsletters. But now I'm planning to start with good product management books. 

Suggest a book that you've read and was practically useful in your work. This can help folks like me facing this issue of choosing between an ocean of books out there.

Suggest the best PM book you've ever read

I am a PM with 4 YOE and have been applying for PM and SPM roles. However, have been facing rejections and the reason they say is my problem solving in case studies was not structured as we'd like.

Are there any experienced PM here who can help me with a few pointers on what the companies are looking at for such roles and if there are any resources that I can make use of to become better.

PM jobs preparation resources

I have been working as an APM in a B2B startup for 12 months now; 5 months internship and 7 months as FTE after graduation.

My work revolves around gathering requirements for features by talking to experts and conducting research, conducting impact analysis; getting initial themes and liaising with Designers to get the final UX, leading the implementation phase with Developers and QA and then getting the release and feature documentation.

Other tasks involve liaising with people from Marketing, Client Partner and Sales to acquaint them with the new features, conducting internal demos, and also looking after client requests/ bugs and getting them fixed.

One issue that I feel however is that my PRDs need revision by my senior. I don't think they are bad, given I include all the things that I feel (based on my experience with the Development pod) come in necessary usually. It might be the case as well that my senior likes to put the requirements documented in a way he likes.

Want suggestions, is this the correct amount and type of work, or something else that I must be picking up too at this stage of career, and how the career shapes ahead in general, in this domain?

Work as an APM

Got laid off from my first product management job. Was the company’s first APM hire and built 70% of their client facing features from 0 to 1.

As an early PM with 2 years of product experience (3+ if you throw in analytics roles I’ve done before), what will be a good fit role for me? 

I’ve narrowed them down to 3 
1. PMM
2.PM-1
3. Founders office roles 

Can anyone tell me the pros and cons of going into each role after a long APM stint (slightly less than 2 years, was their walking GPT for every tec-product-business thing they did, also was informally managing 3-4 people)

Laid off as a generalist PM after managing 0-1 for an early stage startup

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Work culture has become ultra toxic. Managers have started nano managing and literally are a pain in the ass. Product giving unrealistic timelines and leadership agreeing on the same without even consulting the developers and even if the developers are raising concerns, no fucks are given infact they are made to realise that this is how a startup should work. Literally everyone is working their asses off and still unable to meet the deadlines. Empathy is completely lost and WLB is a sham. People including me want to switch but are not even getting time to prepare.

Rant on Swiggy wlb

This is all trickling down from the Leadership, they are trying to cut down costs by any means. Already had one round of layoffs, now they are doing silent layoffs in the form of PIPs. 
  
 Also, Leaders have lost the long term focus and are trying to find out more and more short term projects related to profitability.  
  
 There was always this pressure of work, but in the past 7-8 months this has become unbearable with no empathy in the organisation.
