Writing PRDs is one of the most time-consuming PM tasks. With Cursor, you can transform this from a multi-hour slog into a focused, iterative process.

The Traditional PRD Problem

• Hours spent on first drafts
• Inconsistent structure across documents
• Missing sections discovered late
• Feedback loops that drag on
