Product Management Skill

Bridge customer needs with delivery execution through structured product thinking.

Core Concept

Product management is clarity. Transform vague ideas into actionable requirements with clear acceptance criteria and aligned stakeholders.

Three Key Activities

Activity	When	Output
Elicit	Early clarify	Requirements, user stories, scope
Acceptance	Post-design	Acceptance criteria, test scenarios
Align	Throughout	Stakeholder consensus, trade-offs

Commands

Command	Purpose
`/wicked-product:elicit`	Requirements elicitation
`/wicked-product:acceptance`	Define acceptance criteria
`/wicked-product:align`	Stakeholder alignment

Usage

bash

# Elicit requirements from brief
/wicked-product:elicit outcome.md

# Define acceptance criteria from design
/wicked-product:acceptance phases/design/

# Facilitate stakeholder alignment
/wicked-product:align --stakeholders "eng,qe,ops"

Elicitation Process

•Understand Context: Read available materials
•Ask Questions: Surface gaps and ambiguities
•Write Stories: As a [persona], I want [capability], so that [benefit]
•Define Criteria: Given/When/Then scenarios
•Validate: Check completeness and testability

Output Artifacts

Elicitation produces:

•User Stories: Persona + capability + benefit
•Acceptance Criteria: Testable scenarios
•Open Questions: Ambiguities to resolve
•Kanban Updates: Traceability

Quality Checks

Good requirements are:

•Clear: No ambiguity
•Testable: Can verify completion
•Valuable: Clear benefit stated
•Independent: Standalone value
•Small: Completable in iteration

Integration

Works with:

•wicked-crew: Auto-triggered during clarify phase
•wicked-kanban: Stores requirements and acceptance criteria
•wicked-qe: Acceptance criteria feed test scenarios
•wicked-mem: Cross-project requirements patterns

Example Flow

code

User: "We need a login feature"

Product: Eliciting requirements...

US1: User Authentication
As a customer
I want to log in with email and password
So that I can access my account securely

Acceptance Criteria:
1. Given valid credentials, When I submit login, Then I access my dashboard
2. Given invalid password, When I submit login, Then I see error message
3. Given account locked, When I submit login, Then I see lockout message

Open Questions:
- Password reset flow?
- Social login support?
- Session timeout duration?

External Integration Discovery

Product management can leverage available integrations by capability:

Capability	Discovery Patterns	Provides
Analytics	`posthog`, `mixpanel`, `amplitude`	User behavior data
Project management	`jira`, `linear`, `github`	Existing tickets/context
Customer feedback	`zendesk`, `intercom`	Support ticket insights

Run ListMcpResourcesTool to discover available integrations. Use wicked-kanban when no project management MCP available.
