Product Spec Examples

Feature spec (user-facing)

Example: "Add CSV export to reporting." Problem: customers manually copy data for board decks. Goal: reduce weekly export requests to support. In scope: CSV for standard reports. Out of scope: scheduled exports, API access.

Experiment spec

Example: "Test onboarding checklist vs. video." Hypothesis: checklist increases activation by 10%. Duration: 2 weeks. Kill criteria: no lift and higher drop-off on step 2.

Platform / enabler spec

Example: "Migrate auth to OAuth2 provider." Problem: security audit findings. Success: pass pen test; zero user-facing regression. Consumers: all teams using auth — link to migration checklist.
