The TPM team use PRD as a tool to set direction and identity requirements. We have an introduction deck to this that can be found here. On a high level we see PRD as lightweight process and a way for us to streamline our work and to better be able to articulate the things we’re intending to work on. This will allow us to separate high level milestone from implementation details.

FAQ

  1. Q: Should everything we do in Linaro use the PRD Process?
    A: No, it should be used when it’s product related or whenever we believe it brings value to us.

  2. Q: No one has informed me of this, how can I get more information?
    A: Reach out to <tpm@linaro.org> and we’ll give a walk-through.

  3. Q: Who is responsible for the PRD documents?
    A: The TPM team is the owner and responsible that it gets the attention needed. The TPM team will invite people from other teams to review, contribute and give feedback.

  4. Q: Is it a document created once and then closed when everything has been completed?
    A: No, it’s meant to be a living document that is continuously updated (relates to “3”).

  5. Q: The way we approach PRD seems to be a bit different to how other companies do PRD work?
    A: Correct, Linaro is different to many other companies. We’re often bound to commitments by our members, hence we’ll have to tweak the PRD process to fit our needs.

  6. Q: Who can read the PRDs?
    A: Right now, they’re only accessible to Linaro employees, i.e., not accessible to members, assignees etc. Perhaps this will change in the future.

  8. Q: What is the cadence for PRD reviews?
