145+ AI Prompts Collection Emphasizes "Strategic Crux" for Product Development

George Nurijanian, known as "George from ☢☢prodmgmt.world," recently highlighted a critical element of his AI Prompts collection for product managers: the "Find the Strategic Crux" prompt. This foundational step, designated as Step 0, is designed to ensure product leaders engage in thorough causal mapping and constraint analysis before initiating any roadmap development. The collection, featuring over 145 AI mega-prompts, aims to streamline complex product management tasks and enhance strategic clarity.

Nurijanian explained the rationale behind this initial prompt, stating, "> This is why I put a "Find the Strategic Crux" prompt as Step 0 in my AI Prompts collection. Forces you to do causal mapping and constraint analysis before touching the roadmap." This approach is intended to prevent premature roadmap creation, ensuring a deep understanding of underlying challenges and limitations. By focusing on the strategic crux, product managers can build more robust and effective development plans.

The prodmgmt.world platform, founded by Nurijanian, offers a comprehensive suite of resources for product professionals, including AI prompts, PRD templates, and various frameworks. These tools are crafted from real-world product management experience and are regularly tested in fast-growing companies. The AI Prompts collection specifically provides ready-made, copy-paste prompts designed to reduce busy-work and accelerate common product management workflows.

The collection is structured to guide users through multi-step workflows, moving from problem identification to shipped outcomes without constant context switching. It includes "4 guided steps from strategic crux to value-chain map," enabling product managers to transform market inputs into executable strategy kernels. George Nurijanian, who also serves as a Senior Product Manager at Xero, has developed these resources to help product managers think like elite leaders and improve efficiency by at least 10 hours weekly.
