Provides a standard template covering problem, users, solution, metrics, dependencies, and out-of-scope items

You're validating a new product idea and need to confirm the problem is real

You want to understand what jobs customers are trying to get done before building features

You're starting a major feature or product initiative and need to align your team
You've finished discovery research and need to turn findings into an engineering-ready document
You need to document requirements before development begins on a significant project
You want to create a shared source of truth that prevents scope creep and miscommunication
