All questions
How do I prompt AI to triage product change requests?
Provide product area, constraints, and existing roadmap items. Ask for classification (bug, enhancement, experiment), estimated impact, complexity signals, and related requests. Require duplicates detection and a suggested next step (fix, spec, research). Keep a human approver in the loop.
In practice
Include a short ‘why now’ field—models surface urgency signals you might miss.
Where to start
- 1Tag historical requests and feed as few-shots.
- 2Run triage on new submissions with structured output.
- 3Monitor precision on classification for a month.
- 4Refine criteria based on team feedback.
