Product Development Doc Templates

Through my journeys, I’ve built up some documenation templates.

Check them out below, and feel free to give me feedback, especially if it’s formative.

The markdown can be found on the github for this site.

Project or Initiative Brief
A Project or initiative brief is the second step an idea takes toward becoming a product. The first is to have an idea.
Data Transformation Document Template
A template for capturing ETL / ELT requirements. The document should help engineering understand what the transformations are for any given step of the data workflow – targeting the defined transformations from one or more tables to a target table.
Capacity Planning Worksheet
Capacity planning helps ensure the scope that is planned to be covered in a given period of time is acheivable by a team, initially by calculating the team’s availability against the amount of work that is estimated.
Level Of Effort – T-shirt Sizing Guide
This is a table on how to equate a t-shirt size to a rough estimate for a squad to complete some work. This is meant as a rough guide. So customize it for your situation.
