The PRFAQ Method

Work backwards from your vision. The proven methodology that transforms ideas into actionable plans.

What is PRFAQ?

PRFAQ stands for Press Release - Frequently Asked Questions. It's a strategic planning methodology popularized by Amazon that helps you work backwards from your desired outcome.

Instead of starting with what you have, you begin by writing the press release you'd want to see when your idea succeeds. Then you work backwards to figure out what needs to be true to make that press release a reality.

This method forces you to think big, clarify your vision, and identify the key questions and challenges upfront.
