PRISM Roadmap¶

A Go library for creating, validating, and transforming structured planning documents. Part of the PRISM ecosystem.

Overview¶

PRISM Roadmap provides typed data structures and utilities for planning documents used in product development:

Requirements Documents¶

Document	Purpose	Primary Audience
PRD	Product Requirements Document	Product Managers, Engineers
MRD	Market Requirements Document	Product Marketing, Sales
TRD	Technical Requirements Document	Engineers, Architects

Strategic Canvases¶

Canvas	Framework	Use Case
BMC	Business Model Canvas	Business model visualization
OST	Opportunity Solution Tree	Outcome-driven discovery
Opportunity	Opportunity Canvas	Opportunity assessment
Feature	Feature Canvas	Feature definition
Lean UX	Lean UX Canvas	Hypothesis-driven design

Key Features¶

JSON format - Machine-readable documents with defined schemas
Multiple output views - PM View, Executive View, Amazon 6-Pager, PR/FAQ
Goals alignment - Integrate with V2MOM and OKR frameworks
Scoring & validation - Automated quality assessment
Persona library - Reusable persona definitions across documents
Feature prioritization - RICE scoring and Kano model classification
Multi-format rendering - D2, SVG, Mermaid, and Lit/JSON output for canvases

Architecture¶

    A --> C[Scoring]
    A --> D[Goals]

    B --> B1[PM View]
    B --> B2[Exec View]
    B --> B3[6-Pager]
    B --> B4[PR/FAQ]

    D --> D1[V2MOM]
    D --> D2[OKR]

    E[MRD] --> F[Markdown]
    G[TRD] --> H[Markdown]

Quick Example¶

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/grokify/prism-roadmap/requirements/prd"
)

func main() {
    // Create a new PRD
    doc := prd.New("PRD-2025-001", "User Authentication System",
        prd.Person{Name: "Alice Smith", Role: "Product Manager"})

    // Set problem statement
    doc.ExecutiveSummary.ProblemStatement = "Users cannot securely access their accounts"
    doc.ExecutiveSummary.ProposedSolution = "Implement OAuth 2.0 authentication"

    // Score the PRD
    scores := prd.Score(doc)
    fmt.Printf("Overall Score: %.0f%%\n", scores.OverallScore*100)

    // Generate views
    pmView := prd.GeneratePMView(doc)
    markdown := prd.RenderPMMarkdown(pmView)
    fmt.Println(markdown)
}

Installation¶

go get github.com/grokify/prism-roadmap

Document Relationships¶

Planning documents can reference each other and align with strategic goals:

graph LR
    V[V2MOM] --> P[PRD]
    O[OKR] --> P
    P --> T[TRD]
    P --> M[MRD]
    P --> |views| PM[PM View]
    P --> |views| EX[Exec View]
    P --> |views| SP[6-Pager]
