PRD Development Workshop vs A/B Test Planner

Two product management skills. Which one fits your job? Side-by-side below.

The short version

PRD Development Workshop

By Dean Peters (PM)

Turn scattered discovery notes into a clear, complete PRD that aligns your team and gets engineers building.

A/B Test Planner

By Mohit Agarwal (PM Skills)

Design product experiments with clear hypotheses, metrics, sample sizes, and decision rules.

What each one does

PRD Development Workshop

  • Walks you through 8 phases of PRD creation, from executive summary to user stories and success metrics
  • Structures your discovery insights into sections: problem statement, personas, strategic context, solution overview, and requirements
  • Generates a complete PRD document that engineering can act on, with acceptance criteria and scope boundaries
  • Captures the 'why' behind decisions so future team members understand strategic context
  • Provides a standard template covering problem, users, solution, metrics, dependencies, and out-of-scope items

A/B Test Planner

  • Creates structured test plans with hypothesis, variants, metrics, and decision criteria
  • Calculates required sample size and estimates how long your test needs to run
  • Defines primary success metrics and guardrail metrics to protect key business outcomes
  • Provides a results interpretation guide so you know when to ship, iterate, or stop
  • Flags risks like low traffic, multiple comparisons, and premature result-checking
