College Q&A Social Network PRD

Product Management Assignment

You have an innovative new App in mind - The App is a private social network for colleges (focused on academics), where it connects the students and faculties.

Students can get their doubts clarified from anybody - it can be a student helping out with answers or even teachers. Guest faculties (subject matter experts from the city) can also be made a part of conversations and they can give solutions to doubts posted by students.

You gather 2 more friends. One of your friends will design the UI, and your other friend is the developer. You have the functionalities of the App (what the App will do, and how will it do it) in your mind, but you need to document it, so that your other 2 friends can use it as a reference.

Prepare this document for the App (Functional Specs/Product Requirement Document). The following aspects should be covered:

1. The different user types/personas for the App
2. The App functionalities for each type of users (explain as user stories)
3. Prepare hand drawn sketches of the screens which will be there in the App, based on the functional requirements
4. Anything else which you think will be required to explain the requirements in detail to your developer friend

[Note: Do not try to make the App very feature rich. Try to think of what would be the minimum features required to show enough value to users to start downloading and using the App.]

Your App is a great success and Times of India asks you for a small writeup regarding your App. They will publish it as the "Most happening App of 2021". Create a writeup within 250 words.

BEST OF LUCK!
