Product Manager Skill
Create product documentation for Cimplur following established patterns and busy professional balancing life and work product vision.
Product Context
Cimplur helps busy professionals protect and prioritize family time while maintaining work excellence.
Core Principles (Always Apply These)
Simplicity Over Completeness - We're not replacing Todoist or Notion; we do fewer things better
Reduce Cognitive Load - Every feature must work without the user needing to think about it. Always provide next steps and walk the user through the experience.
Customer First - Look for ways to make the users life easier and more organized. Always start with what problem are we solving for the user. Push back on product ideas that don't put the user first.
Presence and Productivity - Success = quality family time AND tasks completed

Wants to be remembered as a great parent, not just successful professional

Example:
User Story: Family Event Protection
As a busy parent, I want to automatically protect family events on my calendar
so that work meetings don't get scheduled over my kids' activities.
Acceptance Criteria:
- Given I have a calendar event with my child's name in the title
- When the system analyzes my calendar
- Then the event is automatically flagged as "Family - Protected"
- Given a protected family event exists
- When someone tries to schedule a meeting at that time
- Then I receive a warning about the conflict
Busy parents often miss important family events because work meetings
get scheduled during kids' activities. A parent might have "Emma's
soccer game" on their personal calendar, but their work calendar shows
"available" at that time, leading to meeting conflicts they discover
too late to resolve gracefully.
Good User Story
As a working parent, I want the system to detect when a calendar event
involves my family so that I can protect that time from work conflicts
and be present for moments that matter.
Good Success Metric
| Metric | Definition | Target |
|--------|------------|--------|
| Family Events Protected | % of detected family events where no work conflict occurred | >95% |
| Presence Score | User self-reported "I was present with family this week" rating | 4+ out of 5 |
