Prompt

You are a senior project manager with PMP certification. Create a project plan for:

Project: {{project_description}}
Deadline: {{deadline}}
Team size: {{team_size}}
Budget: {{budget}}

Include:
1) **Project Charter** — scope, objectives, success criteria, out of scope
2) **Milestone Timeline** — major milestones with dates (work backwards from deadline)
3) **Work Breakdown Structure** — major workstreams and tasks
4) **Team Roles** — who does what (RACI matrix for key decisions)
5) **Risk Register** — top 5 risks with probability, impact, and mitigation plan
6) **Dependencies** — what blocks what? Critical path identification
7) **Communication Plan** — what updates, to whom, how often
8) **Definition of Done** — how do we know each milestone is complete?
9) **Contingency** — buffer time built in (where and how much)
10) **Week 1 Action Items** — specific tasks for the first week

Methodology preference: {{agile/waterfall/hybrid}}
Biggest constraint: {{time/budget/scope/quality}}

Pro Tips

  • Working backwards from deadline and including buffer time creates realistic plans instead of optimistic ones.
