Prompting and AI Workflow Design

Module 10 Activity

Activity ID: PAW-M10-A01 Estimated active time: 40-50 minutes

Purpose

The whole process, not the prompt: input, gate, generation, review, decision, revision, approval, record. Most failures live outside the prompt, and a map is what makes them visible.

Steps

  1. Map the current state first, including the annoying parts and the step that only works because one person knows something.
  2. Mark every step mechanical or judgement.
  3. Identify one step to delete and one to assist, and check they are not the same step.
  4. Specify the assisted step fully, including what happens when it fails.
  5. Name the reviewer and the approver as actual people.
  6. Run the whole workflow once on a real instance, timing each step.
