Thank you for participating in the Project Management Institute's (PMI)
course "Practical Application of Generative AI for Project Managers." This
document compiles the Large Language Model (LLM) prompts used in Sarah
Philbrick's "Team Tutorial" video for the “AI-Enhanced Team Skills Gap
Identification and Custom Development Plans” workflow.
The demonstrated prompts are intentionally simplified for teaching purposes
while still producing effective results. For optimal LLM performance, we
recommend structuring prompts using either of these proven formulas:
To further enhance your prompt engineering skills and take your text-based
interactions with AI models to the next level, we recommend completing
PMI’s “Talking to AI: Prompt Engineering for Project Managers” course. These
prompt engineering formulas you see above are taken from the "Prompt
Engineering for Project Managers Workbook," a free resource available within
this valuable prompt engineering course specialty made for PMs!

You are an expert project manager, specializing in software development. I
am providing documents, transcripts from stakeholder meetings, survey
results and my project charter. Review and analyze all the attached
information that has been collected as part of the requirements gathering
project management process. Then, make a list of all the project
requirements present in this documentation.

Provide a good requirements traceability matrix for software development.
Timestamp: 5:12
Use all the information I provided and the PDF you created to organize the
project requirements into a Requirements Traceability Matrix. Please include
the following information in the RTM:
Requirement ID: A unique identifier for each requirement.
Requirement Description: A brief description of the requirement.
Source: The origin of the requirement, such as a Business Requirements
Document (BRD).
Priority: The importance of the requirement (e.g., High, Medium, Low).
Design Specification: Reference to the design document that addresses the
requirement.
Development Status: Current status of the development (e.g., Not Started, In
Progress, Completed).
Test Case ID: Identifier for the test case that will validate the requirement.
Test Status: Current status of the testing (e.g., Not Tested, Passed, Failed).
Comments: Any additional notes or comments.

Can you create a dashboard-type visualization of my project requirements
test cases using the data provided?
Timestamp: 11:37
What do you suggest I include a dashboard created to monitor my RTM?
Timestamp: 12:00
Please include the following in the dashboard, in addition to the
visualizations you've already included:
Overall Project Status:
- Percentage of requirements completed
- Percentage of requirements in progress
- Percentage of requirements not started
Status of test cases linked to requirements
Resource Allocation (if applicable)
- Information on resource usage and allocation
Milestone Tracking:
- Timeline view of key project milestones and their status
