Give the AI a Role  \nTo give the AI the right perspective, tell the AI who or what it is. State the job title and the type of company or projects it works on. Think of the role as the character you need the AI to play when crafting its response.  \n2. Prompt the AI with Specific Expertise  \nAdd the knowledge required for the AI to act in character for the prompt. If you would like it to have specific project management methodologies or certifications, list them. Tell the AI how much experience it should have in a given field or which experts to reference.  \n3. Give the AI a Tone of Voice  \nSpecify the voice you want it to respond in. Use words such as “academic” and “professional” if you would like a formal tone, or “friendly” and “natural” if you would like a more casual response.  \n4. State Your Goal  \nState the ultimate goal of the response. What are you trying to achieve? This can be anything from“create a project schedule” to “summarize these meeting notes” to “outline the steps of a software development project,” and anything in between. Let the AI know what you expect to gain with the prompt you are giving it.  \n5. Give the AI a Task with Step-by-Step Instructions  \nLay out the steps required to complete the prompt. List the results the response should include, and clearly define your expectations. Be very specific.  \n6. Give Examples  \nCopy and paste or upload what you consider to be a good example of the results you want. Often, the more examples you provide, the better the output will be.  \n• Pro Tip: ChatGPT-4 and Google Gemini both make it easy to upload images to your prompt using the + or image upload button near the prompt entry text field.  \n7. State Constraints  \nTell the AI what you don’t want it to do. If there are methodologies it should ignore or things it should exclude, list them.  \n8. Define the Format for the Output  \nProvide very specific details about the format or structure desired for the output. Give it a word count or sentence limit or ask it to respond in a list or in paragraphs.  \nEXAMPLE  \n1. AI ROLE: You are an [experienced project manager] at a [large Fortune 100 tech company] that [specializes in B2B sales].  \n2. SPECIFIC EXPERTISE: You have [10 years of experience] and are [certified by the Project Management Institute and are a Scrum Master].  \n3. TONE OF VOICE: Your tone is [professional and direct].  \n4. GOAL: You are [managing a software development project] and need to [schedule milestones and deadlines].  \n5. STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS: [Create a project schedule for an app development project] that includes [a start and end date with milestonesand deadlines based on the average time needed to complete each task]. These should include [time for research, ideation, testing, and execution].  \n6. GIVE EXAMPLES: An example [project timeline template is attached]. Do not include [time needed for monitoring results or task assignments].  \n7. CONSTRAINTS: The output for this task should be [easy to edit and read, ina table format, with dates].  \nDISCLAIMER  \nAny articles, templates, or information provided by Smartsheet on the website are for reference only.
