| How to Create a Product Brief | How to create a product brief using the BMad Method |
Use the product-brief workflow to define product vision and strategy through an interactive process.
When to Use This
- Starting new product or major feature initiative
- Aligning stakeholders before detailed planning
- Transitioning from exploration to strategy
- Need executive-level product documentation
:::note[Prerequisites]
- BMad Method installed
- Analyst agent available
- Optional: Research documents from previous workflows :::
Steps
1. Load the Analyst Agent
Start a fresh chat and load the Analyst agent.
2. Run the Product Brief Workflow
*product-brief
3. Answer the Interactive Questions
The workflow guides you through strategic product vision definition:
- What problem are you solving?
- Who are your target users?
- What makes this solution different?
- What's the MVP scope?
4. Review and Refine
The agent will draft sections and let you refine them interactively.
What You Get
The product-brief.md document includes:
- Executive summary — High-level overview
- Problem statement — With evidence
- Proposed solution — And differentiators
- Target users — Segmented
- MVP scope — Ruthlessly defined
- Financial impact — And ROI
- Strategic alignment — With business goals
- Risks and open questions — Documented upfront
Integration with Other Workflows
The product brief feeds directly into the PRD workflow:
| Analysis Output | Planning Input |
|---|---|
| product-brief.md | prd workflow |
| market-research.md | prd context |
| technical-research.md | architecture (Phase 3) |
Planning workflows automatically load the product brief if it exists.
Common Patterns
Greenfield Software (Full Analysis):
1. brainstorm-project - explore approaches
2. research (market/technical/domain) - validate viability
3. product-brief - capture strategic vision
4. → Phase 2: prd
Skip Analysis (Clear Requirements):
→ Phase 2: prd or tech-spec directly
Tips
- Be specific about the problem — Vague problems lead to vague solutions
- Ruthlessly prioritize MVP scope — Less is more
- Document assumptions and risks — Surface unknowns early
- Use research findings as evidence — Back up claims with data
- Recommended for greenfield projects — Sets strategic foundation
