# Product Requirements Specification Version: 1.0.0 --- # Purpose The Product Requirements artifact defines the complete set of functional, non-functional, business, and technical requirements for the product. Its purpose is to clearly communicate what the product must do, how success will be measured, and the constraints under which the solution will be developed. The Product Requirements serve as the primary reference for Architecture, Planning, Implementation, Validation, and Evolution. --- # When This Artifact Is Created The Product Requirements are created during the Governance phase following Discovery approval. The document is updated whenever approved requirements change. --- # Dependencies Requires: • Discovery Summary • Source of Truth • Product Bible • Product Vocabulary • Decision Log Referenced By: • Information Architecture • Database Architecture • UI/UX Bible • Build Master Plan • Architecture • Planning • Implementation • Validation • Evolution --- # AI Generation Instructions The Product Requirements should describe what the product must accomplish without prescribing how the solution will be implemented. Requirements should be clear, measurable, testable, and unambiguous. Avoid implementation-specific details unless required to accurately describe the requirement. Each requirement should support one or more documented business objectives. Duplicate or conflicting requirements should be identified and resolved before approval. --- # Required Sections ## Executive Summary Provide a high-level summary of the product and its intended purpose. --- ## Business Objectives Identify the business objectives the product must achieve. --- ## Product Goals Describe the measurable goals of the product. --- ## Stakeholders Identify all primary stakeholders involved in the project. --- ## User Roles Identify every user role that will interact with the product. Reference the Product Vocabulary where appropriate. --- ## Functional Requirements Describe the functionality the product must provide. Requirements should be organized by feature or functional area. --- ## Non-Functional Requirements Document requirements including but not limited to: Performance Availability Scalability Reliability Accessibility Maintainability Security Compliance Localization --- ## Business Rules Document the business rules governing product behavior. --- ## Assumptions Document assumptions made during Discovery or Governance. --- ## Constraints Identify known project constraints including: Budget Timeline Technology Infrastructure Regulatory Operational --- ## Dependencies Identify internal and external dependencies. --- ## Risks Identify known business and technical risks associated with the product. --- ## Success Criteria Define measurable criteria that determine project success. --- ## Acceptance Criteria Define the conditions required for the product to be considered complete and accepted. --- ## Future Considerations Document approved future capabilities that are intentionally excluded from the current implementation. --- # Validation Criteria The Product Requirements are complete when: Business objectives are clearly defined. Every functional requirement is documented. Non-functional requirements have been identified. Business rules are documented. Success criteria are measurable. Acceptance criteria are defined. Requirements are internally consistent. The human approves the document. --- # Maintenance The Product Requirements should be reviewed whenever: Business objectives change. New requirements are approved. Existing requirements are modified. Business rules change. Architecture introduces new constraints. Validation identifies missing or conflicting requirements. The Product Requirements should remain synchronized with all governance artifacts throughout the lifecycle of the project.
