> PRD

Is it Baader-Meinhof or is everyone on HN suddenly using obscure acronyms?

Seems commonly used in Big Tech - first time I heard it was in my current job. Now it's seared into my brain since it's used so much. Among many other acronyms which I won't bore you with.

It stands for Product Requirements Document, it is something commonly used in project planning and management.

Maybe so, but personally it seemed to be referred to as a "specification" or "spec" for a long time, and then suddenly around maybe 5 years ago I started to hear people use "PRD". I'm not sure what caused the change.

		Yep, software specs or requirements[0]. Thanks to LLMs it's easy to look up acronyms, but still, it feels like there's an uptick of them on HN[1]...
