What problem does it solve?
It helps you convert messy product requests and stakeholder needs into structured PM deliverables (specs, roadmaps, research syntheses, competitive briefs, metrics reviews, and sprint plans) that are specific, evidence-grounded, and ready for execution.
Core Features & Use Cases
- PRD/spec generation (SPEC mode): Produce user stories, measurable goals, P0/P1/P2 requirements with acceptance criteria, non-goals, and open questions with owners.
- Roadmap planning (ROADMAP mode): Create or update Now/Next/Later roadmaps with prioritization rationale and the required “what comes off” capacity tradeoff.
- Stakeholder updates (STAKEHOLDER mode): Draft audience-appropriate updates (exec/engineering/cross-functional/customers/board) using ROAM risk framing.
- Research synthesis (RESEARCH mode): Perform thematic analysis with triangulation principles, evidence-linked findings, and confidence levels.
- Competitive analysis (COMPETITIVE mode): Build a competitor brief with feature comparison matrices, positioning analysis, and strategic implications.
- Metrics reviews (METRICS mode): Turn metric inputs into an actionable scorecard using North Star + L1/L2 diagnostics and OKR-ready targets.
- Sprint planning (SPRINT mode): Generate capacity-aware sprint plans (goal, allocation model, backlog, risks, definition of done) with honest carryover.
- PM thinking partnership (BRAINSTORM mode): Run an opinionated Socratic session that challenges assumptions and captures next steps/decisions.
Quick Start
Use the product-management skill when you need a complete PRD, roadmap update, research synthesis, competitive brief, or metrics review for a specific product topic.
