Write a product brief people can act on
Create a short shared reference for the problem, users, constraints, and success signal.
Define the problem
Describe who is affected, what they are trying to do, and why the current experience fails. Include evidence and avoid prescribing a feature too early.
Bound the work
List the outcome, non-goals, constraints, open questions, and owner. Use plain language that design, engineering, and operations can challenge.
Choose a success signal
Name the behavior that should change after release and how you will observe it. Keep the brief current as decisions are made.
