ChatGPT · Practical workflow
Turn a rough brief into an execution plan
Convert an unclear request into goals, unknowns, dependencies, and a first action list.
Outcome
A one-page plan with owners, next actions, and questions that still need answers. Back to ChatGPT01
Prepare
What you need
- The original brief or chat thread
- Known deadline and stakeholders
- Any constraints or existing materials
02
Do the work
Four steps
- 01
Ask the assistant to separate the request into outcome, constraints, and unknowns.
- 02
Ask for three possible approaches and the trade-off of each.
- 03
Choose one approach and request a 30-minute first action list.
- 04
Move the final actions into your own project tool.
03
Do not skip
Before you call it done
- Does every action have an owner or a clear next decision?
- Are assumptions visibly separated from confirmed facts?
- Can the first action be reversed if the plan is wrong?
