Charter and scope

3 prompts

Project charter one-pager

1/15

✨ What it does

Gemini writes a charter from [GOALS] and [CONSTRAINTS], tagging missing metrics [VERIFY]. Sponsor signs after every [VERIFY] row is filled.

Project: [NAME]. Sponsor: [SPONSOR]. Goals: [GOALS]. Constraints: [CONSTRAINTS]. Write charter: purpose, in/out scope, success metrics, stakeholders. Tag missing metric [VERIFY].

💡

Pro tip: Out of scope is as important as in scope. Paste both or accept [VERIFY].

WBS from deliverable list

2/15

✨ What it does

Gemini builds a WBS from [LIST] with owners or [VERIFY] and notes [DEPS]. Assign owners in the kickoff before you baseline the plan.

Deliverables: [LIST]. Dependencies noted: [DEPS]. Build work breakdown with work packages, owner from [OWNERS] or [VERIFY], and dependency arrows in text.

💡

Pro tip: Dependencies without dates are hints only. Paste dates when you have them.

Scope change request shell

3/15

✨ What it does

Gemini drafts a scope change from [CHANGE] and [IMPACT], tagging missing cost [VERIFY]. Finance fills cost before the change board meets.

Change: [CHANGE]. Reason: [REASON]. Impact notes: [IMPACT]. Draft scope change request: description, impact on time/cost/quality from paste, recommendation. Tag missing cost [VERIFY].

💡

RAID and risk

3 prompts

RAID log from notes

4/15

✨ What it does

Gemini builds a RAID log from [NOTES] with owners or [VERIFY]. Review it in weekly PM sync and close stale rows.

Notes: [NOTES]. Build RAID table: type, item, owner, date, status. Use names from notes only or [VERIFY]. Do not invent risks.

💡

Pro tip: If notes say worried about API, that is a risk row, not prose.

Risk response planner

5/15

✨ What it does

Gemini plans responses for [RISKS] with triggers and owners, tagging unknown probability [VERIFY]. Validate probability with tech lead before you share.

Top risks: [RISKS]. For each: probability from paste or [VERIFY], impact, trigger, response, owner. No new risks beyond list.

💡

Pro tip: Triggers must be observable. Vague if things go wrong becomes [VERIFY].

Issue escalation brief

6/15

✨ What it does

Gemini writes an escalation brief from [TIMELINE] and tags missing impact [VERIFY]. Send to sponsor with facts only, not blame.

Issue: [ISSUE]. Timeline: [TIMELINE]. Stakeholders: [STAKEHOLDERS]. One-page escalation: facts, impact, options, ask. Tag missing impact metric [VERIFY].

💡

Pro tip: Options need pros/cons from your paste. Gemini should not invent a fourth option.

Status and reporting

3 prompts

Weekly status report

7/15

✨ What it does

Gemini writes weekly status from [NOTES] and [METRICS], tagging missing RAG reasons [VERIFY]. Publish after leads confirm RAG colors.

Week: [WEEK]. Notes: [NOTES]. Metrics: [METRICS]. Status: RAG per workstream, accomplishments, next week, blockers. Tag missing RAG reason [VERIFY].

💡

Pro tip: RAG without a reason is noise. Paste why yellow or mark [VERIFY].

Steerco deck outline

8/15

✨ What it does

Gemini outlines a steerco deck from [HEALTH NOTES], tagging unclear decisions [VERIFY]. Clarify the decision ask before you build slides.

Audience: [STEERCO]. Project health: [HEALTH NOTES]. Outline 8 slides: decision needed, status, metric, risk, ask. Tag if decision unclear [VERIFY].

💡

Pro tip: Slide 1 must be the decision. If none, steerco should not meet.

Milestone variance note

9/15

✨ What it does

Gemini explains milestone variance from [BASELINE DATES] and [ACTUALS], tagging missing recovery [VERIFY]. Commit recovery plan with owners in the same meeting.

Baseline: [BASELINE DATES]. Actuals: [ACTUALS]. Explain variance per milestone, recovery plan from [PLAN NOTES] or [VERIFY].

💡

Pro tip: Variance explanations need a fact from [ACTUALS]. Stories without dates fail steerco.

Agile ceremonies

3 prompts

Sprint goal and plan

Backlog items: [ITEMS]. Capacity: [CAPACITY]. Sprint length: [LENGTH]. Propose sprint goal, selected stories, capacity check. Tag if estimate missing [VERIFY].

💡

Pro tip: Capacity must be a number or range you paste. Gemini will not guess PTO.

System: [SYSTEM]. Launch notes: [NOTES]. Outline runbook: monitoring, on-call, rollback, contacts from [CONTACTS] or [VERIFY].
