The Model Isn’t Wrong. Your Prompt Is Vague.
Most disappointing AI output is a clear answer to an unclear question. This is the short session that fixes the question.
Completing this class earns you the Scrum Alliance® Get Started with AI Prompt Engineering Microcredential.
Two Hours on the One Skill Everything Else Needs
Prompting looks like it needs no teaching, right up until you compare what you got with what a colleague got from the same tool.
This is the craft on its own: how these models actually read a prompt, the principles that make one work, and a framework you can apply to any task.
- How generative AI responds to a prompt, in plain terms
- The principles behind a prompt that works
- A reusable framework, applied to your own tasks
- A hands-on lab on mock and real scenarios
Short on purpose. You’ll use it the same afternoon.

The fine print
Agenda
Two hours, mostly hands-on:
How it reads you
Focus: Enough of the mechanics to prompt well
- What a generative model is doing with your words
- Why small changes in phrasing change the answer
- Where confident wrong answers come from
The framework
Focus: A repeatable structure
- The principles of an effective prompt
- A framework you can apply to any task
- Iterating rather than restarting
Prompting lab
Focus: Your own tasks
- Mock scenarios, then real ones
- Critique in pairs
- What you take back to your desk
One day, live. Times are Central and are confirmed when the cohort is scheduled.
Training formats
Live and instructor-led, in person or remote. A microcredential is short enough to take in a day and specific enough that a day is the right amount of time.
A student handbook you keep, with the exercises and room for notes
The Scrum Alliance® badge on completion, and a 2-year membership with it
Risk-free guarantee
Satisfaction is guaranteed. If, for any reason, you are dissatisfied with the class by the lunch break, let us know and we’ll refund your class fees. No questions will be asked.
Prerequisites
None. Some familiarity with Scrum will help, but the class assumes nothing.
Frequently asked questions
When does this run?
It doesn’t yet. This class is on the schedule to be built, and this page exists so you can say you want it.
Tell me you’re interested and I’ll write to you when the first cohort has dates — before it goes on the public schedule.
Should I take this or one of the role-specific AI classes?
Take this if you want the prompting craft and nothing else, or if you’re not a Scrum Master or Product Owner.
The role classes cover prompting too, in less depth, and spend the rest of the day on the job you actually do.
