Record a product walkthrough instead of writing a PRD
A product manager can replace a long written PRD with a recorded whiteboard walkthrough: sketch the flow and narrate the intent in Excalicast, which captures the operation stream plus voice and exports an MP4 (or a lightweight replay link on Max) for the team to watch async.
Steps
- 1
Sketch the user flow
Draw screens, states, and edge cases on the canvas the way you would whiteboard a feature.
- 2
Narrate intent and trade-offs
Record while explaining why, not just what — the part that usually gets lost in a written doc.
- 3
Share with the team
Export an MP4 for your docs, or on Max generate a replay link engineers and designers can open in the browser.
FAQ
Why is a recorded walkthrough better than a written PRD?
A walkthrough preserves the reasoning and visual flow in your own voice, which text often loses. It reduces back-and-forth and aligns engineering and design faster, while still re-exportable to any aspect ratio for wider sharing.
