Using PRDs and User Journeys to Design User-Friendly Tools
summary
Shows a concrete process for turning a feature idea into a PRD: build a persona-driven house-evaluation app and write a full user journey first (Abigail walking from first click to last), have reviewers highlight every requirement, convert passive steps into active voice with respect to the tool so the tool’s responsibilities (button opens text box, tool auto-saves notes) are explicit, group and stack-rank requirements, and draw an MVP/staging cutoff to prevent scope creep. Practical, repeatable, proven in the example.
