Common Mistakes that is common in PRD 
You Are Not Your Customer- common mistakes to assume that if you like 
your product, then your customers will like it too. 
Too Little Detail- It takes a lot of work and thought to fully specify the 
requirements of a product. But if areas are not covered, then bad things 
can happen. 
Too Much Detail- The reverse problem is also possible. The product 
manager decides to provide so much detail that the result is a 
specification so massive that the product team doesn’t even read it.
TAKE AWAY POINTS 
During the process of defining the product, always 
focus on delivering superior value to the market place. 
To define a good product, always remember to focus on the value.
