Try ChatGPT .. it will share basic questions that should be answered in a BRD .. at the end of the day the level of detailing depends on your engineers . Some like detailed requirements some want high level problems..and bullet point solutions

I had recently created a video on this topic.. https://youtu.be/8MzkD-8eafM?feature=shared

Product Tools for better Documentation- Grapevine

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Do you guys love making a documentation. It can be of many things like tech spec, prd, one pagers and many more. 
Is there any tool which makes this process easy for developers? 
I gets frustrated while making docs. 
AI doesn't help much as it doesn't know many things related to our company projects. And it's illegal to put info on chatgpt as it can leak that info.

Documentation process in software engineering

Tech Lead

feeling like I am literally in the worst phase of my life. Our company is taking ownership of an abroad project and those abroad folks are not supportive or even if they support us then they give little information so that we can't take ownership. so we freshers have to figure out everything, and now even after figuring out, my manager and higher management asks me anything with respect to the product(features, deployment, anything literally- it's a big & complex project) even though I am a fresher and don't even have the proper knowledge and then ask us to explain to them what we know, and it's literally frustrating to explain to every single guy every single time. Because the manager asks to prepare to explain to him and then to the higher manager and then whenever something is there they keep asking again and again to give a presentation or our ideas about it, but they don't even ask abroad folks when they are the one who is doing the work. I just feel like I can't keep up with this and I want to resign. How to say no to the manager for doing a particular work again and again or should I resign because I am feeling very low right now and still after 1 year it looks like I have wasted the time because I got to write code for maybe 5% and 90-95% feels like college presentation. Every time there's something and they ask the same thing 3-4 times, sometimes it would be give the x info or then y info and like this only  and because of that i can't do the real work or work on new features because the Indian manager and higher officials keep giving extra work which they should ask from US folks. What should I do please suggest

Frustrated from job

Application Engineer

Super last minute! I’m joining as a PM  at a global bank tomorrow and this is my first job out of undergrad, I would love any tips! 🥺

Day 1 advice? HELP!

Leave grapevine. Build your own perspective about things for the first 6 months and then join back

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’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?

For Example If you consider Google Workspace is the product and Google Docs as a feature, how do you cover all the features of Google Docs in a single document?

How to write PRDs for features with a wider scope?

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

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

Need some recommendations for a tool for our product management. Need it to meet following criteria:
1. Easy visibility of Cross team roadmap's dependencies
2. Publicly sharing of roadmap status
3. 2-way integration with jira
4. Track jira tasks to by goals

Bonus if under $10/month/login.

We are presently using excels 😁

What product management tools would you recommend?

I am currently working in oracle to build the project management tools. I am looking for a job change. If anyone have requirement of Product managers to build the project management tools then please get in touch with me

Product managers for project management tools

I’m curious about the working style of difterent companies operating at different levels. 

Do engineers ever directly talk to business or just product?

Does the product give a detailed PRD covering all possible scenarios or a one pager?

Are PRDs still a thing ? How long does the review cycle last?

How strictly are estimates adhered to?

How frequently do the requirements change during the dev cycle?

Who owns the quality of outcome ?

How does work flow at your comany?

There has been a huge influx of posts dissing roles like Product, Marketing, HR etc. by Techies.

Every other post, or comment is made by them undermining the value of other depts and these cuties think business runs just by their sub-par code.

I understand that their delusion stems from the fact they get paid huge salaries by loss making companies. Which is bound to crash sooner or later. 

Rant over.

Why are Techies so delusional?

Interesting POV. 
  
 Nassim Nicholas Taleb mentions an interesting advice. If you don’t know what to do, follow what the smartest people in your generation are doing. 
  
 These are almost exclusively fulfilling and financially attractive opportunities 
  
 According to him, in the 1990s Lebanon, the smartest kids in undergrad went and became Economists. In the 2010s, the smartest kids became Software Engineers. 
  
 Perhaps, their ego does not stem from the money but from competence.  
  
 However, true charisma is merging that competence with warmth. And for that, you must eliminate the ego.
