The market requirements document ( MRD ) describe the opportunity or the market need like why the user should chose Fedora Workstation over anything that the other distribution have to offer or are out there on the market, what advantages it will bring him etc.
The product requirements document ( PRD ) describe a product that addresses that opportunity essentially how the output from the workstation WG will proved that added functionality.
So the first step in the process is to complete the MRD the second step is to complete the PRD and I'm not aware of anyone in the marketing community writing MRD for any of the WG's ( or the WG's themselves coming up with one ) and these goes hand in hand.
For this process to effectively work as advertised both steps need to be complete not just the half of it.
I don't think anybody has advertised a specific process or methodology that we are following, and I suggest not to get too hung up on product management terminology. Throwing around acronyms is stupid, anyway. We could just talk about 'defining the product'.
