Prompt Design: Your BA Superpower (No Code Required!)
Ever get a vague, unhelpful answer from an AI? It's not the AI's fault; it's your prompt!
Hello BAE Community Members,
Ever get a vague, unhelpful answer from an AI? It's not the AI's fault; it's your prompt!
Think of prompt design as the new requirements elicitation. Just like you wouldn't give a developer fuzzy needs, you can't give an AI a lazy prompt and expect gold.
The thought-provoking part?
Your ability to define the AI's "persona" – e.g., "Act as a senior BA evaluating a system migration" – can dramatically shift its output quality. Mastering clear instructions, like specifying "output a CSV table," isn't just about formatting; it's about telling the AI precisely how to deliver actionable outputs.
Challenge yourself:
Next time you prompt, ask: "If this were a junior BA, would they truly understand my request without more context?" That's your prompt design foundation.
All the best,
Esta
