Writing Product Specs

How to construct and standardize your PRDs / PRFAQs across the Product organization

John Scrugham

Use Coda for your technical documentation such as product requirement documents (PRDs), product requirement frequently asked questions (PRFAQs), and beyond.

1. Standardize your
`PRD Template`⁠

Add common language and segments that each product launch needs to include, then lock the Page so folks don’t accidentally make edits to it.

⁠

2. Re-use the
`PRD Template`⁠
for new PRDs.

You have two options for how you can copy the

*PRD Template*⁠

when it’s time to create a new write-up.

A. Click the “...” to the right of the Template Page to open up the Pages options > Duplicate

⁠

B. Add the feature into the PRD table within

All PRDs⁠

> Click the button “Create PRD”

⁠

3. Add and edit your Product Page such as
`Feature X`⁠

4. Invite your team

Share your designers and engineers on the doc if they don’t already have access by going to Share > adding their name or email address > Share.

⁠

Email or Slack the team that URL of the Feature Page. Each Page within your Coda doc is a unique URL that will bring people to the right page in the doc.
