In the pack: ChatGPT, Claude & Gemini Prompts for Project Managers
Scope Statement With Exclusions and Acceptance Criteria
Prompt
Project summary: {{PROJECT_SUMMARY}}
What the requester says they want: {{REQUESTED_FEATURES}}
What I already know is excluded or deferred: {{KNOWN_EXCLUSIONS}}
Who signs off the deliverables: {{APPROVER}}
Produce:
1. Scope description (one paragraph).
2. Deliverables table: deliverable | description | acceptance criteria (testable, yes/no) | approver.
3. Out of scope: an explicit list. Add items people commonly assume are included in this kind of project (for example training, data migration, content creation, support after go-live) and mark each "Confirm excluded?".
4. Assumptions the scope depends on, each with what happens if it proves false.
5. Ambiguity list: every word in the request that two reasonable people could read differently ("integrate", "mobile-friendly", "reports"), each with a question that pins it down.
Rules: don't add features I didn't mention to the in-scope list. Don't estimate effort or cost. Write acceptance criteria someone could check without asking me what I meant.
