## Prompt

```text
Help me plan real work projects that build future-ready skills and prove I can use AI to deliver results.

**My role and team:** [DETAILS]
**Skills I want to build:** [e.g. "workflow automation", "data analysis", "prompt design"]
**Recurring problems or slow processes in my team:** [EXAMPLES]
**AI tools I am allowed to use and data rules:** [TOOLS, RESTRICTIONS]
**Who I want to notice the results:** [manager / leadership / hiring managers elsewhere]
**Time available:** [HOURS PER WEEK]

Steps:
1. Propose 5 project ideas from my real work. For each: the problem, how AI would be used, the skill it builds, expected business result, effort, and risk.
2. Rank them by: visible business value, skill-building, feasibility in 4-8 weeks, and low risk to confidential data.
3. For the top 2, give a project plan: baseline to measure first, steps, a review checkpoint, and how to show results.
4. Build my portfolio strategy:
   - What to capture for each project (before/after metrics, the workflow, prompts used, lessons learned).
   - A one-page case study template: Problem | Approach | Result | What I would do differently.
   - Where to share it: team demo, internal newsletter, performance review, and what can safely go on LinkedIn or a resume.

Rules: measure results honestly against a baseline; if a project fails, include it as a lesson. Never put confidential data, client names, or internal numbers in a public portfolio without permission.
