“Help me create an action plan”
Too vague—AI has to guess what you want
“Create a 30-day action plan for launching an MVP of a mobile app. Break it into three phases: Week 1–2 (build), Week 3 (test), Week 4 (launch prep). For each phase, list 4–6 specific tasks. Each task should have: owner role (founder / designer / developer), estimated hours, and whether it's a blocker for the next phase. Output as a table.”
Specific, clear, ready to use
What makes the strong prompt better?
Three-phase structure imposes real project thinking on the output
Owner, hours, and blocker columns make the plan immediately actionable
Table format is scannable and easy to paste into a project tool
