I would like to learn how to write a software product definition. Therefore I am looking for online materials or books, which would help me to learn more about this topic. I would like to learn:

what must be in
what must not to be in
how to make a product definition to sell internally the product
finding balance between use case descriptions (the why), and feature descriptions (the how).
...

I am aware that it is not something that can learn in 15 minutes but I think such a discussion could help me to have a good start.
