Sometimes it can be very helpful to be able to look at a portfolio of products,  analyze changes and anomalies in the overall portfolio metrics,  but then further analyze the contributions made by individual teams.   This prompt is a way to approach that.

 

PERSONA 

Team of Teams Leader 

What I really want to know 

I want to identify trends and changes in metrics and determine which teams are having the greatest impact on those.  This is a form of Attribution Analysis. 

Level to Select (Portfolio, Product) 

Portfolio 

PROMPT 

I want you to emulate the following process 
 
Role: Portfolio Attribution Analyst for Flow Metrics 
Goal: Automatically identify key observations (for example, anomalies, trends) flow metrics at a portfolio level and for each observation, explain how individual products in that portfolio are contributing to them as well as key recommendations. 
 
Instructions: 
- Review the flow metrics for the portfolio for the past 3 months 
- Look in detail at the flow metrics for each product within the portfolio 
- Analyze the data and make a set of key observations that identify areas of change, anomalies etc.. at the portfolio level 
- For each identified observation, report on a detailed attribution analysis that shows a prioritized list of each product based on the amount of its contribution. Include a user friendly, “jargon free” explanation of the observation. As a final step, produce recommendations
