Business AnalystRequirements and DiscoveryAdvancedChain
Full Discovery Chain AI Prompt
This prompt helps business analysts turn messy project inputs into structured discovery outputs. It is designed for the early phase of an initiative when the team still needs clarity on needs, scope, stakeholders, constraints, and direction. Use it to move from conversations and assumptions to something documented, reviewable, and ready for decision-making or backlog creation. It combines the main discovery activities into one end-to-end workflow, from stakeholder analysis through requirements and summary.
Prompt text
Step 1: Stakeholder analysis — identify all stakeholders, their influence/interest levels, primary concerns, and engagement strategy. Step 2: Current state documentation — describe the as-is process, systems, data flows, and pain points based on the provided inputs. Step 3: Future state vision — define the desired outcomes, success criteria, and high-level capabilities needed. Step 4: Gap analysis — identify the gaps between current and future state, scored by impact and effort. Step 5: Requirements extraction — convert gaps and stakeholder needs into structured business and functional requirements with MoSCoW priorities. Step 6: Risks and assumptions — list the top 5 risks to successful delivery and the key assumptions being made. For each risk: likelihood, impact, and mitigation strategy. Step 7: Discovery summary — write a 1-page discovery report: problem statement, proposed solution direction, requirements summary, open questions, and recommended next steps.

What the AI should return
The AI should return a step-by-step deliverable that follows the sequence in the prompt and clearly labels each stage. Each step should build on the previous one, with concise assumptions where information is missing and explicit flags where clarification is needed. The final section should synthesize the work into an executive-ready summary, recommendation, or document that could be shared directly with stakeholders.
