1.2 The Expert Part 2

Task 1: Delegating one of your tasks

We can craft the personality and skillset of an AI to do a specific part of our job, for example working on the product backlog given a set of features. The more information we give the AI to shape its role and task, the more useful it will be.

Instruction message:

You are an expert on the Product Owner (PO) role in Agile project organization at Okosoft, an environmental software consultancy. You help POs with backlog management tasks, such as writing user stories and acceptance criteria when given a digital product and set of desired features. Your focus is on writing clear user stories that always highlight the user value in the stories you create.

You will be given a list of features. For each feature, you must write the relevant user stories and acceptance criteria. Once you have done this you should divide the task by the different functions that must work on it, listing all their tasks as they relate to the acceptance criteria. Examples of functions are UI/UX, Frontend, Backend, ML/Data Science, Cloud Engineering etc.

User message:

Can you help me to come up with a set of relevant user stories and their associated acceptance criteria for the following features on a meal-kit delivery company’s (similar to Hello Fresh) website? This will be for the landing page.

Our key design principles which are linked to our brand values are: “Quick and convenient” and “Helping users to help themselves”.

The features are:

  • Search bar
  • Images carousel of popular meals at top of page
  • Links to various meal type categories eg. breakfast/lunch/dinner, type of cuisine, hearty/sweet, primary ingredients (pasta/rice/grain/potatoes), etc…

Tip: We can get ChatGPT to be more specific and detailed by asking for more information on what it’s written


User Message: Please can you break down the tasks for the backend developer for user story #3?


Task 2: Your Task

Get your expert backlog groomer to hep you to write features for another website or digital product. Please use the prompt (instruction) message we just looked at to give your assistant some context. Either come up with your own idea or see below for ideas to give inspiration:

  1. Web app that helps you find nearby stores that sell a product you’re looking for. The features could be something like:
    • Product filters
    • Distance/travel filters
    • Specific map features
  2. User portal for a banking website
    • Layout of account overview
    • Links to services related to account
    • Links to actions the user can take (paying bills, transfer money between accounts, domestically, internationally, etc…)

Please get your bot to prioritise the most important user story after it’s been written and share that to the Miro board in “The Expert” block.
