About the Requirements Gathering Template
If you start a project without a clear vision, it's akin to sailing without a compass, directionless and uncertain. But, with the requirements gathering template, you can chart a well-defined course for your team from the outset. This effective tool helps align priorities and ensures your project stays on track for success.
The requirements gathering template allows teams to clearly define, categorize, and prioritize their project requirements. This template is divided into distinct fields to guide the project requirements process:
Requirements: This is the overarching section where the core needs of the project are detailed. It provides a high-level view of what the project aims to achieve.
Must-Haves: These are the non-negotiables. These elements are necessary for the project to be completed and successful. This section ensures that the primary objectives are always in focus.
Should-Haves: While not critical to the project's completion, these requirements could have a considerable impact on the project's success. They're not essentials, but their presence is highly beneficial.
Good-to-Haves: These are the "cherries on top." While they would be a useful addition to the project, they are not imperative. They can enhance the project but aren't pivotal to its success.
By filling out each field, teams ensure that all aspects of the project are considered and appropriately prioritized.

Jobs to be Done template
Works best for:
Ideation, Design Thinking, Brainstorming
It’s all about a job done right — customers “hire” a product or service to do a “job,” and if it's not done right, the customer will find someone to do it better. Built on that simple premise, the Jobs To Be Done (JTBD) framework helps entrepreneurs, start-ups, and business managers define who their customer is and see unmet needs in the market. A standard job story lets you see things from your customers’ perspective by telling their story with a “When I…I Want To…So That I …” story structure.
Product Canvas Template
Works best for:
Desk Research, UX Design
Product canvases are a concise yet content-rich tool that conveys what your product is and how it is strategically positioned. Combining Agile and UX, a project canvas complements user stories with personas, storyboards, scenarios, design sketches, and other UX artefacts. Product canvases are useful because they help product managers define a prototype. Creating a product canvas is an important first step in deciding who potential users may be, the problem to be solved, basic product functionality, advanced functionalities worth exploring, competitive advantage, and customers’ potential gain from the product.
Empathy Map Template
Works best for:
Market Research, User Experience, Mapping
Attracting new users, compelling them to try your product, and turning them into loyal customers—it all starts with understanding them. An empathy map is a tool that leads to that understanding, by giving you space to articulate everything you know about your customers, including their needs, expectations, and decision-making drivers. That way you’ll be able to challenge your assumptions and identify the gaps in your knowledge. Our template lets you easily create an empathy map divided into four key squares—what your customers Say, Think, Do, and Feel.
RICE Prioritization Template
Works best for:
Project Management, Strategic Planning, Prioritization
Teams use the RICE framework to prioritize the best course of action for their business. Using the model, you assign a RICE score to different ideas and tasks. This score tells you whether that item is something to prioritize. As a result, you make better-informed decisions about growing your business.
