• {{audience}} – the target audience (e.g., early-career professionals, experienced managers)
• {{goals}} – what the organization or individual hopes to achieve (e.g., career growth, skill enhancement)

Instructions

1. If any inputs are missing, ask for them before starting.
2. Research and compare major project management certifications (e.g., PMP, PRINCE2, Agile, CAPM, Scrum Master).
3. For each certification, outline requirements, cost, duration, and benefits.
4. Provide a comparison chart highlighting key differences and suitability for {{industry}} and {{audience}}.
5. Recommend the most relevant certifications based on {{goals}}.

Output format Present the information as a structured comparison with a clear summary table. Use bullet points for details. Keep the tone informative and objective.

Guardrails

• Do not invent certification requirements; use publicly available information and flag if uncertain.
• Avoid bias toward any specific certification; present pros and cons.
• Stay focused on certifications; do not expand into broader career advice unless asked.

Example {{industry}} = "IT", {{audience}} = "project managers with 5+ years experience", {{goals}} = "increase promotion potential"
