Prompt chains for summarizing weekly engineering updates

Here’s a prompt chain you can use to summarize weekly engineering updates effectively:

1. Prompt for Gathering Information:
   “Please provide a summary of the major engineering tasks completed this week. Include milestones achieved, blockers resolved, and any notable progress or setbacks.”

2. Prompt for Highlighting Key Changes:
   “What were the most significant changes in the engineering workflow or project scope this week? Were there any new tools, methods, or technologies introduced?”

3. Prompt for Team and Collaboration:
   “How did the team collaborate this week? Were there any key interactions with other departments or external partners that contributed to the progress?”

4. Prompt for Challenges and Roadblocks:

5. Prompt for Metrics and Performance:
   “Please include any key performance metrics or data points that highlight the progress and productivity of the engineering team this week.”

6. Prompt for Future Focus:
   “What are the primary focuses for next week? Are there any upcoming deadlines, deliverables, or critical tasks that need attention?”

7. Prompt for Team Sentiment and Feedback:
   “How is the team feeling about the current progress? Any feedback or insights from team members that could influence future work?”

You can use this chain of prompts each week to structure and refine the summary of your engineering updates.
