Product Manager

Real Workflow

The Product Manager scenario is not "AI deciding product direction for you" — it's about organizing scattered requirements, progress, and risks into materials that the team can review and execute on.

DimensionReal Situation
Trigger PointPRD review, Sprint planning meeting, pre-standup progress summary, launch coordination
Existing MaterialsRequirements background, user feedback, PRD template, task lists, development progress, and blockers
Pain PointUser stories unclear, acceptance criteria vague, multiple projects competing for resources, risks discovered too late
DesireCore InterventionProduct Manager agent generates PRD drafts, breaks down acceptance criteria, summarizes progress, and flags resource conflicts
Acceptance ResultPM receives review-ready documents and risk lists, then confirms priorities, scheduling, and trade-offs

Product Manager — Suited for requirements documents, iteration planning, progress summaries, resource conflict analysis, and risk lists.

Teaching First: Teaching the Agent Your Product Workflow

Every team's iteration process and documentation standards are different. Teach your templates, priority definitions, and acceptance criteria first, and subsequent outputs will be more review-ready.

Teach Rules

You: Let me teach you our team's product standards:
[Upload PRD_Template_v3.docx]
1. User story format: "As a [role], I want [feature], so that [value]" (mandatory)
2. Priority definitions: P0 = must complete this iteration, P1 = try to complete, P2 = next iteration (mandatory)
3. Iteration cadence: bi-weekly sprints, Monday planning meetings, Friday retrospectives (preference)
4. Acceptance criteria: every requirement must have testable acceptance conditions — no vague descriptions like "improve experience" (mandatory)

Product Manager: 📝 New learning recorded
Source: PRD_Template_v3.docx + workflow notes
Type: Rule (Product workflow standards)
Level: Mandatory × 3, Preference × 1

My understanding:
Use the uploaded template format when writing PRDs. User stories
must follow the "As a... I want... so that..." pattern. Priorities
are split into P0/P1/P2 levels. Every requirement must include
testable acceptance criteria. Iterations follow a bi-weekly cadence.

Once teaching is complete, the Product Manager agent has learned your PRD standards and iteration workflow. From now on, just describe your requirements and it will produce standardized PRDs.

Complete Conversation Example

You: How is Sprint-7 progressing?

Product Manager: Sprint-7 Progress Report

Cycle: June 3 to June 14 (Day 6)
Overall Progress: 85% (Time progress 60%, ahead of schedule)

Task Completion Status
- Completed: 18/24 (75%)
- In Progress: 4
- Not Started: 2

Individual Progress
Zhang San (Frontend): All completed 6/6
Li Si (Backend): 4/5 in progress, remaining "Auth interface optimization"
Wang Wu (Backend): 3/5 in progress, "Order module refactoring" estimated 2 days
Zhao Liu (Testing): 4/6 completed, integration testing waiting for development completion

Risk Warning
- Order module refactoring progress slightly slow, suggest Zhang San assist Wang Wu
- Integration testing depends on backend tasks, needs to be prioritized

Estimated Completion Rate: 95%
Suggestion: Move 1 low-priority task to next Sprint

You: Help me write a requirements document for the "User Tag System".

Product Manager: User Tag System -- Requirements Document

I. Background
The operations team needs to perform refined segmentation of users. Currently only manual
filtering is possible, which is inefficient and cannot update in real-time...

II. Core Features
1. Tag creation and management
2. Automatic tag rule engine
3. User segment query
4. Tag data dashboard

III. User Stories
As an operations staff, I want to be able to create custom tags and set
automatic tagging rules for automated user segmentation...

IV. Acceptance Criteria

Key Steps

  1. Define Problem and Goals — Clarify user problems, business objectives, success metrics, and non-goals
  2. Break Down User Stories — Decompose into user stories by role, behavior, and value — don't just pile up feature lists
  3. Define Acceptance Criteria — Every requirement needs testable conditions, edge cases, and analytics/data requirements
  4. Sync Development Constraints — Write dependent systems, resource conflicts, technical risks, and launch windows into the plan
  5. Track Iteration Risks — Daily review of completed items, blockers, scope changes, and delay risks

Final Deliverable

Progress reports, PRD drafts, user stories, acceptance criteria, resource allocation suggestions, and risk lists. Final scheduling should be confirmed based on actual team capacity and business priorities.

Best Practices
  • Have the agent generate progress summaries before daily stand-ups to quickly see completed items, blockers, and pending decisions
  • When writing requirements documents, first describe business scenarios and user pain points, and the agent will automatically decompose them into user stories and acceptance criteria
  • When multiple projects run in parallel, have the agent analyze resource conflicts and recommend alternative allocation plans
  • During quarterly planning with multiple feature requests, have the Product Manager agent generate PRD drafts for each feature in parallel, then conduct a unified priority review
  • PRDs are not better when longer — the key is ensuring engineering, testing, design, and business have the same understanding of "done"
