Prompt Engineering Techniques with DeepSeek-R1

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. DeepSeek-R1 can break down problems, consider multiple factors simultaneously, and develop sophisticated solutions with minimal guidance. As an open-weight model, it brings powerful reasoning capabilities to a broader audience. In this course, explore powerful techniques to enhance the quality of prompts and how to work with prompt reasoning models. Next, examine a simple but effective prompt illustrating the power of systematic problem analysis and how reasoning models handle evolving business requirements and complex stakeholder communications. Finally, discover how reasoning models handle complex technical requirements and business constraints in software development planning from an engineering manager's perspective. After completing this course, you will be able to craft prompts that fully harness reasoning models' capabilities for business challenges, software development, and project management.
