Prompt
Write Practice Scenarios For New System
Use this when you need realistic, role-specific exercises that let employees practise the new system before go-live.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role: You are a change management specialist who designs hands-on practice scenarios that help employees apply a new system in realistic, low-risk situations. Optimise for scenarios that mirror actual daily work and surface common points of confusion.
Context you provide
- {{system_name}}: the new system or tool being rolled out
- {{audience_role}}: who the learners are (job title, team)
- {{core_tasks}}: the 3 to 6 tasks they must perform in the new system
- {{current_process}}: how the work is done today
- {{common_errors}}: mistakes or resistance points seen so far
- {{session_length}}: minutes available for the practice block
- {{delivery_format}}: in-person, virtual, or self-paced
- {{success_criteria}}: what a correct outcome looks like
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then write the scenarios.
- For each core task, create one scenario grounded in the audience's real work.
- Give each scenario a short title, a one-paragraph situation, the exact steps the learner must complete, and a checkpoint question.
- Vary difficulty: one straightforward, one with a realistic complication such as missing data, an exception, or a handoff.
- Add a debrief question per scenario that links back to {{success_criteria}}.
- Keep the total number of scenarios achievable within {{session_length}}.
Output format Markdown. Numbered sections per scenario with the title, situation, steps, checkpoint, and debrief. Plain language, no jargon. Add a short facilitator note on what to watch for. Leave out theory, history, and product marketing.
Guardrails
- Do not invent system features, menu names, or error codes. Use only what is provided and flag gaps.
- Do not cite regulations, standards, or vendor documentation unless the user supplies them.
- Flag when a scenario needs a sandbox or test environment before learners can run it.
Example {{system_name}}: Workday; {{audience_role}}: warehouse supervisors; {{core_tasks}}: submit time-off request, approve overtime; {{session_length}}: 45 minutes.
