Project Planning Framework
Before writing a single prompt, plan your project:
- 1Choose a professional context: which field or role is this toolkit for?
- 2Define the 5 most common AI tasks in that context
- 3List the target audience for each AI interaction
- 4Define what 'success' looks like for each task
- 5Identify the AI tools you will use (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude)
- 6Set a realistic scope: 5 to 10 prompts for the final project
A well-planned project produces a toolkit that is actually useful in the real world.
