NEW CHAPTER BUILD — Master Prompt

Use this when the target chapter has only its DMBOK source or does not yet have a complete study package.

Copy/paste prompt

Build the study package for [CHAPTER NUMBER — CHAPTER TITLE] using the DMBOK chapter PDF stored in its Main 00A chapter folder as the controlling content authority. Use 00A-01 — CDMP DMBOK Mastery Lab — Build Specification & Study System as the governing build standard and 00A-02 — CDMP Chapter Material Creation & Update Prompt Guide as the operational prompt standard.

Before drafting any learner-facing artifact, read the entire controlling DMBOK chapter. Create an internal chapter blueprint that captures the chapter’s section structure; important concepts and definitions; named frameworks/models; roles; activities/processes; tools/techniques; implementation guidance; governance responsibilities; metrics; diagrams/tables; cross-domain links; prerequisite concepts; likely confusion pairs; and Fundamentals/specialist relevance. Do not draft from memory before this blueprint is complete.

Map the chapter to current Fundamentals weighting and relevant specialist-exam context. Use weighting to control depth and practice volume, but do not omit supporting material needed to understand the chapter.

Build the Guided Learning Guide first. Teach for a motivated beginner: faithful DMBOK meaning, plain-language explanation, realistic example when useful, why it matters, how it connects to nearby concepts, and likely confusion/trap when applicable. Preserve DAMA terminology and explain acronyms on first use.

After the Guided Learning Guide passes source QC, build only the additional chapter artifacts that add a distinct learning function: Exam Map, Visual Memory Map/Atlas, Battle Cards, Scenario Lab, Question Bank, Teach-Back/Blank-Page Recall, and later Error Repair when real learner mistakes exist.

Teaching/reference artifacts must resolve learner-facing questions immediately using: ❓ Question → ✅ Answer → 🧠 Detailed Explanation → 📖 DMBOK Source. Dedicated assessment/retrieval artifacts may separate answers only when a complete clearly labeled answer/reconstruction key exists. Every scenario question set must be explicitly resolved in the immediately following rationale.

All multiple-choice questions must be original. For each MCQ provide one defensible best answer, the rationale for the correct answer, why each distractor is wrong, and source metadata where possible. Build distractors from real DMBOK confusions, not random trivia.

Use the established visual standard: navy structure/authority, teal learning/analysis, orange/gold distinctions/caution, green correct/success, red traps/errors, neutral source notes; semantic emojis/callouts only when they support learning. Make the native Google version readable and visually organized.

For every completed learner-facing Google Doc, create a same-base-title PDF in the same chapter folder. For Sheets intended for reading/printing/offline practice, create a PDF when practical. Read back the native Google version and render/inspect the PDF for clipping, overlap, broken glyphs, unreadable tables, blank/orphan pages, or missing content.

Before handoff, run the full QC protocol: source fidelity; coverage against the blueprint; DAMA terminology; beginner depth; example accuracy; confusion distinctions; assessment quality; weighting discipline; cross-domain consistency; redundancy control; question completeness; native Google readback; PDF parity; and visual integrity. Repair confirmed issues before declaring the artifact complete.

Save all chapter-specific materials in the same chapter folder as the controlling DMBOK PDF using the standard naming convention. After the chapter theory package is complete, consult Main 00B’s chapter-to-lab curriculum map and technology gates to decide whether/when to build the Meridian applied lab.

Do not build Artifact 08 generically. Wait for actual learner mistakes/performance data.
