Present my design work and defend key decisions
Builds a short design review walkthrough that leads with the problem, explains decisions with evidence, and prepares answers to pushback.
The prompt
Help me prepare to present my design to stakeholders.
Audience: [WHO - e.g. VP product, engineering lead, sales head; what each cares about]
Time I have: [e.g. 15 minutes]
What I need from the meeting: [approval / feedback on X / decision between options / alignment]
The problem and goal: [USER PROBLEM, BUSINESS GOAL, METRIC]
Evidence I have: [RESEARCH, DATA, TEST RESULTS - only what is real]
Key design decisions and alternatives I rejected: [LIST]
Likely objections: [WHAT I EXPECT TO HEAR]
Give me:
1. A walkthrough outline with timings: context and goal, the user story or scenario, the design shown in the flow order users experience it, 2-3 key decisions with the rationale, open questions, and the specific ask.
2. For each key decision, a one-sentence rationale linking it to user evidence or the goal, plus the trade-off I accepted.
3. Answers to the likely objections, and a calm way to respond to taste-based feedback (redirect to the goal, offer to test).
4. How to frame feedback I want ("Does this flow handle your team's case?") vs. what I do not want reopened.
5. A closing line that confirms decisions and next steps.
Do not invent research findings or numbers; mark gaps as [ADD EVIDENCE].
Highlighted [brackets] are blanks to replace with your own details.
