In this phase, product managers have to take many perspectives into account, otherwise the product requirements need to be changed over and over again during development or even after finishing it, but how? Here, I devided into five groups the requirements you should consider when it comes to product management. Moreover, not only considering various requirements but also putting these into words eventually is essential because the main communication with the stakeholders is basically performed through PRDs.
