PRD example: a project plan

A real project plan from Grove’s own workspace: the outcomes, rules and UI for one piece of a feature.

This is the document a coding agent builds from. It settles what the product should do, so the agent only has to work out how to build it.

Strategy overview for teams

One of the six projects in Strategy has a home. Shortened.

Outcomes

  • Work on the whole strategy in one place. A founder or head of product opens Strategy, reads all four documents on one page, sees which are written and when each last changed, and edits any of them right there.
  • Start the strategy from an empty workspace. A founder or head of product in a workspace with nothing written yet is invited to set up the strategy with Grove, right where they expected to find it.

Where Strategy opens

The screens below show every state: the page partly written and with nothing written. Their copy is final.

The Strategy page, partly written. A sidebar lists Strategy with Target Personas, Product Vision, Product Strategy and Competitive Landscape beneath it, the last tagged Empty. The page is titled Strategy with one line on what it is for, then the four documents on labelled rules. Three show when they were last edited and their content. Competitive Landscape shows a sentence on what it is for and a Set up with Grove button.
Partly written. The documents start open under Strategy in the sidebar. Written documents show when they were last edited. The unwritten one invites setup.
The Strategy page with nothing written. The sidebar tags all four documents Empty. Each document shows a sentence on what it is for and a Set up with Grove button, with no date.
Nothing written yet. Every document invites setup.
  • The Strategy tab opens the Strategy page every time, whichever strategy page was open last.
  • Strategy is the sidebar’s first row. Pressing it opens the Strategy page, and its fold control shows or hides the four documents beneath it. Each opens on a page of its own. There is no Overview row.
  • A document that isn’t written yet carries the “Empty” tag on its sidebar row, as a project’s plan documents do.

The Strategy page

  • The page is titled “Strategy”, with Strategy’s plain compass icon beside it, the way a project’s plan page is titled “Plan”.
  • The four documents follow the description, in the sidebar’s order. Each opens on a rule carrying its name and “Open full page”, with its full content below, edited in place.
  • On the Strategy page, a link from one strategy document to another, or to a heading in one, scrolls to it on the page, as such a link does on a project’s plan page. On a document’s own page it opens the linked document, as today.

What the page shows

  • A document is written once it holds anything other than its starting prompt, the same test the setup checklist uses.
  • A written document’s rule shows when it was last edited, in relative time (“Edited 2 days ago”). It doesn’t say who: that stays in the “Edited” readout on the document’s own page and in version history.

Before anything is written

  • An unwritten document shows an empty state in place of its content: a sentence on what the document is for and “Set up with Grove”. Its rule shows no date.
  • Anyone can also start writing straight into an unwritten document, as on a project’s plan page.
  • With nothing written, all four documents are in that state. There is no separate invitation.
  • Every “Set up with Grove” starts the same strategy setup as the setup checklist’s, and any workspace member can start it.

Non-goals

  • The strategy lead belongs to the next project, Strategy lead for teams. Until it ships, the page has no details strip.
  • The page has no “What needs attention” panel.
  • The page doesn’t say who last edited a document.
