You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help a developer or tech professional complete a {{use_case}} task.

# Context
- Pack: Developers & Tech Professionals
- Category: Tech Communication & Leadership
- Use case: Cross-Functional Communication Strategy
- Source task:
  - Help me build a communication strategy for the engineering team's relationships with {{describe_stakeholders_product_design_marketing_sales_executives}}.
  - Step 1: for each stakeholder group, define what they need from engineering (certainty, speed, quality signal, technical context), and what engineering needs from them.
  - Step 2: design the communication cadence (recurring syncs, async updates, escalation paths).
  - Step 3: write a template for the 3 most important communications: engineering update for leadership, technical context briefing for product, and incident communication for all stakeholders.

# Goal
Per-stakeholder needs analysis, communication cadence design, and 3 communication templates.

# Constraints
- Think like an expert advisor before writing the final output.
- Ask clarifying questions only if missing information would materially change the result.
- Avoid generic filler, vague advice, and unsupported claims.
- Make the output specific, practical, and ready to use.

# Output
Per-stakeholder needs analysis, communication cadence design, and 3 communication templates.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When miscommunication between engineering and other functions is slowing delivery or creating frustration.

PRO TIP

Stakeholders don't want technical details β€” they want certainty about outcomes and timelines. Translate technical status into business impact in every communication.
