The Decision Log and Product Debt Toolkit

Three ready-to-use templates for logging roadmap decisions, auditing product debt, and making trade-offs visible before they compound.

A practical toolkit to help you…

  • Make roadmap decisions with the context your future self needs
  • Identify the six types of product debt hiding in your team’s workflow
  • Say trade-offs out loud and write them down before they become invisible
  • Build a shared vocabulary for debt across product, engineering, and design
  • Stop losing the “why” behind every decision you make
Three toolkit templates side by side: a Roadmap Decision Log with spreadsheet rows and status indicators, a Debt Inventory showing six types of product debt with checkboxes and severity ratings, and a Trade-off Statements template with fill-in-the-blank prompts. Available in Google Sheets and Markdown formats.

What’s inside The Decision Log and Product Debt Toolkit

1. Roadmap Decision Log
For the decisions that will still matter in 6 months. Each entry captures what’s being decided, what’s at stake, what information is missing, and how you’ll know if you got it right.

2. Debt Inventory
A diagnostic checklist covering the six types of product debt most teams carry: tech debt, design debt, process debt, discovery debt, roadmap debt, and culture debt. Each type includes the decision pattern that typically creates it and three questions to help your team assess severity.

3. Trade-off Statements
A fill-in-the-blank format for every time your team consciously accepts debt. Captures what you’re choosing to do, what you’re leaving out, why, what debt you’re accepting, when you’ll revisit, and who needs to know.

Product Launch Template for Google sheets spreadsheets from ProdPad

What you’ll find in this Product Launch Template

Getting the launch phase right with any new product or feature is critical… you don’t need us to tell you that! But it’s also a complicated job, involving multiple teams, lots of differing priorities and a lot of moving parts. 

As a Product Manager, it’s your job to coordinate all the efforts – to be the conductor of the go-to-market choir. So how do you go about that? How do you plan that process and orchestrate everything so your feature doesn’t just launch, but it lands. 

Use our ready-made spreadsheet template and have it all mapped out for you. See what needs to be done and who should be doing what. Then use the template to assign tasks, track progress and run a smooth process across multiple teams.

The Product Launch Template contains:

  • Over 30 different launch tasks
  • Tasks grouped by stage – from Alpha, to General Availability and all the way to post-release
  • Which team owns what
  • A space to record specific owners, dates, and notes
  • The ability to filter and group based on owner, team, phase and more
