Practical Prompt Governance for Multi-Team AI Programs
Prompt governance is version control for behavior. Without it, “the model changed” becomes an unanswerable question.
Environments and promotion
Keep sandbox prompts separate from production. Promotion should require review and a short changelog.
Ownership and naming
Every template needs an owner, a risk tier, and a searchable name. Otherwise teams fork silently.
Testing before rollout
Run regression prompts against golden outputs when changing instructions or models.
Treat prompts like release artifacts.
