Key Output
Computer ingested five user interviews plus 312 scheduling‑related support tickets and clustered them into five themes, with intelligent auto‑scheduling emerging as the top opportunity backed by 5 of 5 interviews and 130 tickets, trending up sharply.
It then defined three personas — the Operations Orchestrator, Compliance Guardian, and People‑First HR Leader — each grounded in real quotes, quantified pains (like $340K/quarter overtime overruns and $1M+/year coordinator labor), and explicit switch triggers. Using this synthesis, Computer scored opportunities by impact and evidence and selected intelligent auto‑scheduling as the #1 bet.
From there, it drafted a full PRD for the auto‑scheduling engine, including a research‑backed problem statement, detailed user stories for ops leaders and managers, six P0 requirements (constraint rule engine, one‑click schedule generation, smart replacements, compliance validation, manager overrides with impact visibility, and ADP/Workday integration), P1/P2 follow‑ons, success metrics (like 80% reduction in schedule creation time and 50% cut in overtime overruns), and open questions for engineering, legal, design, and data.
It also built a RICE‑scored roadmap that places auto‑scheduling and integration hardening in “Now,” employee self‑service and cross‑site dashboards in “Next,” and a credential/compliance engine in “Later,” with clear sequencing rationale. Finally, Computer produced a 12‑slide stakeholder deck with charts on ticket trends, persona cards, an opportunity scoring table, the RICE roadmap, a PRD summary, and quantified cost‑of‑inaction numbers, giving the PM a ready‑to‑present narrative for the exec team.
Tips
Tighten segment focus – Add one line on your target customer, for example: “Optimize decisions for 500–5,000‑employee multi‑site customers in healthcare, logistics, and retail first.”
Constrain roadmap horizons – Specify timeframes, for example: “Define Now as the next 2 quarters, Next as the following 2, and Later as 12+ months out.”
Shape the exec narrative – Tell Computer how you want to sell the story, for example: “Emphasize quantified cost of inaction and attach each roadmap item to a specific revenue or churn impact.”
