I want to write a PRFAQ document.

I need some guidance.

Working Backwards is Amazon's approach to innovation that starts with the customer and works backward to create products, services, and experiences that truly meet their needs. Rather than starting with what's technically possible or what the business wants, we focus on what would genuinely delight customers.

Today, we'll structure our discussion around the 5 Customer Questions framework. Here's how we'll proceed:

  1. Listen: Who is the customer and what insights do we have about them?
  2. Define: What is the prevailing customer problem/opportunity? What data informed this?
  3. Invent: What is the solution? Why is it the right solution versus alternatives?
  4. Refine: How would we describe the end-to-end customer experience? What is the most important benefit?
  5. Test & Iterate: How will we define and measure success?

Once we've thoroughly explored these questions, I'll help you generate a first-draft PRFAQ document that captures your idea in Amazon's standard format.

Would you like to proceed directly to the Listen stage, or do you have any questions about the Working Backwards process first?

PRFAQ - Amazon Haul

SEATTLE — Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) today announced Amazon Haul, a new delivery option that lets customers choose a specific day to receive all their Amazon orders from the previous week, reducing delivery trips and offering more predictable delivery times.

Starting today, Prime members in select U.S. cities can opt to receive all their Amazon purchases in a single weekly delivery on their preferred day. This new service helps customers who want to ensure they're home for deliveries while also reducing Amazon's carbon footprint through consolidated shipping.

"Our customers have told us they want more control over when their packages arrive, and they care about sustainability," said [Senior VP of Amazon Operations]. "Amazon Haul addresses both needs by letting customers choose their delivery day while significantly reducing the number of delivery trips to their homes."

With Amazon Haul, customers simply select their preferred delivery day during checkout. All orders placed throughout the week are automatically consolidated and delivered together on their chosen day. The service is free for Prime members.

"As a working parent, knowing exactly when my packages will arrive has been game-changing," said Sarah Chen, an Amazon Haul beta tester in Seattle. "Instead of multiple deliveries throughout the week, I get everything on Saturdays when I'm home. It's more convenient and I feel good about reducing delivery trips to my house."

Based on the service description, here are relevant customer personas and their pain points:

PersonaDescriptionPain PointsThe Busy ProfessionalWorking parent who values predictability and wants weekend deliveries- Missing packages during work hours

  • Unpredictable delivery times
  • Multiple disruptions throughout week | | The Eco-Conscious Consumer | Someone who prioritizes sustainability and environmental impact | - Guilt over multiple delivery trips
  • Excessive packaging waste
  • High carbon footprint | | The Schedule Optimizer | Customer who wants control over delivery timing | - Lack of delivery predictability
  • Difficulty planning around arrivals
  • Random delivery windows | | The Regular Prime Shopper | Frequent Amazon customer making multiple weekly purchases | - Too many separate deliveries
  • Package coordination hassle
  • Storage management issues |

FAQ

Q: How does Amazon Haul work? A: Customers select their preferred delivery day during checkout. Orders placed throughout the week are held at our fulfillment centers and consolidated for delivery on their chosen day. Customers can change their preferred day anytime.

Q: Is there an extra cost for Amazon Haul? A: No, Amazon Haul is included free with Prime membership.

Q: What if I need an item urgently? A: Customers can still select standard Prime delivery options for urgent items while maintaining Amazon Haul for other orders.

Q: Which cities have Amazon Haul? A: The service is launching in Seattle, Los Angeles, New York City, and Chicago, with plans to expand to additional cities throughout 2024-2025.

Q: How does this help sustainability? A: By consolidating multiple deliveries into one, we reduce the number of delivery trips and associated carbon emissions. Initial pilots show up to 30% reduction in last-mile delivery emissions.

Q: What happens if I'm not home on my delivery day? A: Customers can provide delivery instructions or select an Amazon Hub Locker as their delivery location. If no one is available to receive the delivery, we'll follow standard Amazon delivery procedures.

While I appreciate the focus on delivery control, as a busy parent, I need to know specifically how flexible these delivery windows are. Will I be able to select evening deliveries after my kids are home from activities, or weekend times when I'm not juggling work and family commitments?

 

Recommended Action: Update the quote to include specific time window options that resonate with busy families.

Virtual Customer & Expert Feedback

PMs can’t access customer insights easily.

PM: Every day I’m trying to understand what customers need…but all the information lives in different places. I spend too much time manually connecting insights across disconnected systems ...

To understand the problem, let’s step into a PM’s day ...

PMs struggle to write high-quality PRDs with limited guidance.

PM: When I write a PRFAQ, I’m constantly unsure whether I’m focusing on the right customer, using the right insights, or crafting the narrative correctly. The worst part? I usually don’t realize I’m on the wrong path until the review meeting—after investing a ton of time and energy. I wish I had someone who could challenge my thinking earlier, before I get too far.

PMs don’t know when or how to involve the right experts

PM: Half of my anxiety comes from not knowing which expert I’m supposed to talk to.There are so many domain owners across Amazon, and every team sees risk differently. I hate the feeling of discovering—weeks later—that I should’ve involved CS or Tech much earlier. It makes me feel like I’m guessing my way through the process.

More sections are coming soon ...

PM: When I write a PRFAQ, I’m constantly unsure whether I’m focusing on the right customer, using the right insights, or crafting the narrative correctly. The worst part? I usually don’t realize I’m on the wrong path until the review meeting—after investing a ton of time and energy. I wish I had someone who could challenge my thinking earlier, before I get too far.

PMs don’t know when or how to involve the right experts

PM: Half of my anxiety comes from not knowing which expert I’m supposed to talk to.There are so many domain owners across Amazon, and every team sees risk differently. I hate the feeling of discovering—weeks later—that I should’ve involved CS or Tech much earlier. It makes me feel like I’m guessing my way through the process.

I want to write a PRFAQ document.

I need some guidance.

Working Backwards is Amazon's approach to innovation that starts with the customer and works backward to create products, services, and experiences that truly meet their needs. Rather than starting with what's technically possible or what the business wants, we focus on what would genuinely delight customers.

Today, we'll structure our discussion around the 5 Customer Questions framework. Here's how we'll proceed:

  1. Listen: Who is the customer and what insights do we have about them?
  2. Define: What is the prevailing customer problem/opportunity? What data informed this?
  3. Invent: What is the solution? Why is it the right solution versus alternatives?
  4. Refine: How would we describe the end-to-end customer experience? What is the most important benefit?
  5. Test & Iterate: How will we define and measure success?

Once we've thoroughly explored these questions, I'll help you generate a first-draft PRFAQ document that captures your idea in Amazon's standard format.

Would you like to proceed directly to the Listen stage, or do you have any questions about the Working Backwards process first?

PRFAQ - Amazon Haul

SEATTLE — Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) today announced Amazon Haul, a new delivery option that lets customers choose a specific day to receive all their Amazon orders from the previous week, reducing delivery trips and offering more predictable delivery times.

Starting today, Prime members in select U.S. cities can opt to receive all their Amazon purchases in a single weekly delivery on their preferred day. This new service helps customers who want to ensure they're home for deliveries while also reducing Amazon's carbon footprint through consolidated shipping.

"Our customers have told us they want more control over when their packages arrive, and they care about sustainability," said [Senior VP of Amazon Operations]. "Amazon Haul addresses both needs by letting customers choose their delivery day while significantly reducing the number of delivery trips to their homes."

With Amazon Haul, customers simply select their preferred delivery day during checkout. All orders placed throughout the week are automatically consolidated and delivered together on their chosen day. The service is free for Prime members.

"As a working parent, knowing exactly when my packages will arrive has been game-changing," said Sarah Chen, an Amazon Haul beta tester in Seattle. "Instead of multiple deliveries throughout the week, I get everything on Saturdays when I'm home. It's more convenient and I feel good about reducing delivery trips to my house."

Based on the service description, here are relevant customer personas and their pain points:

  • Difficulty planning around arrivals
  • Random delivery windows | | The Regular Prime Shopper | Frequent Amazon customer making multiple weekly purchases | - Too many separate deliveries
  • Package coordination hassle

FAQ

Q: How does Amazon Haul work? A: Customers select their preferred delivery day during checkout. Orders placed throughout the week are held at our fulfillment centers and consolidated for delivery on their chosen day. Customers can change their preferred day anytime.

Q: Is there an extra cost for Amazon Haul? A: No, Amazon Haul is included free with Prime membership.

Q: What if I need an item urgently? A: Customers can still select standard Prime delivery options for urgent items while maintaining Amazon Haul for other orders.

Q: Which cities have Amazon Haul? A: The service is launching in Seattle, Los Angeles, New York City, and Chicago, with plans to expand to additional cities throughout 2024-2025.

Q: How does this help sustainability? A: By consolidating multiple deliveries into one, we reduce the number of delivery trips and associated carbon emissions. Initial pilots show up to 30% reduction in last-mile delivery emissions.

Q: What happens if I'm not home on my delivery day? A: Customers can provide delivery instructions or select an Amazon Hub Locker as their delivery location. If no one is available to receive the delivery, we'll follow standard Amazon delivery procedures.

While I appreciate the focus on delivery control, as a busy parent, I need to know specifically how flexible these delivery windows are. Will I be able to select evening deliveries after my kids are home from activities, or weekend times when I'm not juggling work and family commitments?

 

Recommended Action: Update the quote to include specific time window options that resonate with busy families.

Consider adding explicit messaging about tracking status anomalies during customer clearance. CS data shows orders may incorrectly display ‘out for delivery’ while still in transit through customers, which drives customer contacts.

Consider adding a customer FAQ addressing the mobile-only limitation at launch, as CS data shows customers contacting support when unable to view orders on desktop.
