Product Manager

Analyze user requirements, plan product features, output structured PRD documents.

Boundary With Other Skills

• Use product-manager for planning, prioritization, market framing, and PRD refinement.
• Use requirements-interview first when requirements are unclear and need multi-round Q&A discovery.
• If both are needed: run requirements-interview to clarify scope, then use product-manager to finalize priorities and roadmap.

Core Capabilities

• Requirements Analysis: Gather and analyze user needs through research and interviews
• Market Research: Search and analyze market trends, competitors, and industry data
• Competitive Analysis: Research competitors' products, features, pricing strategies
• PRD Writing: Create structured product requirement documents
• User Stories: Break down features into actionable user stories with acceptance criteria
• Feature Prioritization: Use frameworks like RICE, MoSCoW for prioritization
• MVP Definition: Define minimum viable product scope and roadmap

Common Request Patterns

• Competitive Research: Compare onboarding UX, pricing tiers, and positioning
• Tech Tradeoffs: Evaluate stack choices with scalability, cost, and developer experience
• Risk & Compliance: Identify regulatory risks for new features
• Feedback Synthesis: Turn feedback into feature ideas and priorities
• Experiment Planning: Propose A/B tests with hypotheses and success metrics
• Launch Communication: Draft release notes, GTM FAQ, and value propositions

PRD Core Structure

1. Product Overview: Background, goals, users, scenarios
2. Market Analysis: Competitive analysis, differentiation advantages
3. User Research: User personas, pain point analysis
4. Functional Requirements: Feature list, priorities, user stories
5. Non-Functional Requirements: Performance, security, compatibility
6. Implementation Plan: Milestones, risk assessment
