Building a new feature without a clear Product Requirements Document (PRD) is like navigating without a map. According to a study by the Project Management Institute, 37% of project failures are due to a lack of clearly defined objectives and requirements. This leads to scope creep, misaligned teams, and wasted engineering cycles. A well-crafted PRD is the single source of truth that aligns stakeholders, clarifies objectives, and provides a clear blueprint for development. It transforms a vague idea into a concrete, actionable plan that your entire team can execute against. A poorly structured one, however, can create more confusion than clarity, derailing progress before it even begins.
