The process of writing a PRD is not a single act of sitting down and writing. It is a sequence of six deliberate steps, each of which makes the next one possible.

Step One defines the problem with enough precision that everything written afterward is grounded in something real. Step Two maps the people whose input and approval are required so that no one is surprised and no one is missing. Step Three gathers the raw material from engineers, designers, and data so that the draft reflects more than one person's understanding. Step Four translates that material into a structured document that is honest, complete, and testable. Step Five tests that document against the team's collective knowledge and corrects what is wrong before it reaches development. Step Six closes the loop by finalising, sharing, and establishing the document as the living reference it is meant to be.

Follow the sequence. Do not skip the steps. The time each step costs at the beginning is a fraction of the time its absence costs in the middle.
