PRDs for Web3 Outsourcing

Web3 and blockchain are changing how we interact online, promising more ownership, transparency, and trust. Each day, an increasing number of brands and companies begin to explore the potential of these technologies through outsourcing. This shift towards external development emphasizes the critical need for well-defined project scopes. A carefully crafted PRD (Product Requirements Document) becomes indispensable in navigating the complexities of web3 development.

What is a PRD

A Product Requirements Document (PRD) guides a product's journey from idea to launch. It's more than a checklist; it's a strategic blueprint for transforming an idea into a market-ready product. It ensures clarity across the development team and stakeholders about the project's aims, what it includes, and crucially, what it does not.

In web3, specifics like the token lifecycle and smart contract functions demand meticulous planning. Therefore, the PRD's role is amplified, safeguarding against the unique challenges posed by blockchain's immutable nature.

Components of a Comprehensive PRD for Web3 Projects

While PRDs vary, the essence remains to communicate effectively and provide extensive context for the project team. Essential components include, but are not limited to:

Project Goals and Value Proposition

• Why: The reason behind the project. What problem does it solve, or what opportunity does it seize?
• Impact: The anticipated benefits and outcomes for users and stakeholders, highlighting the project's value.

User and Stakeholder Definition

• Who: Describes target users and key stakeholders, their needs, and how the project addresses these.
• Incentive Actions: Specifies the behaviors and actions the project aims to encourage among its stakeholders, ensuring alignment with overall goals.

Technical Specifications and Ecosystem Dynamics

• Network or Protocol Selection: Specifies the blockchain network or protocol and the reasoning behind this choice, considering factors like security, scalability, and community support.
• Ecosystem Integration: Describes how the project integrates with and contributes to the chosen ecosystem, including interactions with existing platforms, protocols, and libraries.

Tokens and Incentive Structures

• Token Lifecycle & Smart Contract Functions: Essential for defining smart contracts' capabilities.
• NFT Attributes & Data: Guides the creation of metadata schemas, critical for NFT functionality.
• Incentives: Delineates the project's incentive mechanisms designed to drive desired behaviors within its ecosystem, supporting engagement and long-term viability.

Governance and Distribution Mechanisms

• Governance: Lays out the decision-making framework and implementation process for proposals.
• Distribution: Explains the mechanisms for distributing rewards, benefits, or tokens among the project's participants and stakeholders.

Features and Functionalities

• What: Enumerates the product's features and functionalities, setting priorities and development sequences.
• Exclusions: Equally important is stating what the project will not include at various stages, providing clarity on scope boundaries.

User Flows and Interaction Guidelines

• Experience: Describes key user journeys and interactions within the project, supported by diagrams or wireframes to illustrate complex flows.

Why a Detailed PRD Matters

The immutable nature of blockchain elevates the PRD from a planning tool to a project linchpin, preventing:

• Scope Creep & Misaligned Expectations: Ensures project boundaries and vision alignment.
• Inflated Costs & Contract Redoing: Averts unnecessary expenses and the need for contract revisions due to undefined functionalities.
