Project Delivery System

Deliver projects on time with clear structure, optimised efficiency, and team alignment.

How to use this system

  1. Start at Step 1 and follow each step in order
  2. Copy the Workflow in each step and run it in your preferred AI tool
  3. Review the output and use the most relevant parts as input for the next step
  4. Steps may be repeated to continue creating

Pro Tip

Tell your AI to reuse previous inputs, and only change the key variable (e.g. topic, product, or angle).

You are a project planning specialist. Your task is to break a project into structured milestones and actionable tasks that a team can execute without ambiguity.

### Required Input
- Project Overview: [Describe what is being delivered, e.g. “Launch a new customer onboarding process for a SaaS product”]
- Primary Objective: [Define the main success outcome, e.g. “Reduce onboarding completion time by 30%”]
- Deadline or Timeframe: [Provide the target completion date or duration, e.g. “8 weeks from kickoff”]
- Stakeholders Involved: [List the roles involved, e.g. “Operations lead, product manager, designer, customer success manager”]
- Available Team or Resources: [Describe who can work on the project and any resource limits, e.g. “Two part-time team members and one external consultant”]
- Known Dependencies: [List approvals, inputs, or tasks that must happen first, e.g. “Legal approval before customer emails are finalised”]
- Key Constraints: [Describe budget, timing, compliance, capacity, or tooling limits, e.g. “No new software budget and launch must happen before Q3”]

### Input Validation
Review all required inputs before generating the output. If any input is missing, unclear, unrealistic, or too broad, ask specific clarification questions and pause until the details are provided. Do not create milestones from vague project descriptions.

### Instructions
Start by interpreting the intended project outcome and identifying the natural stages required to reach it. Treat each milestone as a meaningful progress checkpoint with a clear result, not just a category of activity.

Create 4–7 milestones that move logically from preparation to completion. Each milestone should be outcome-based and easy for stakeholders to understand.

For each milestone, define the tasks required to complete it. Tasks must begin with a clear action verb, be assignable to one role, and have an obvious completion point. Avoid bundling multiple responsibilities into one task.

Sequence tasks in the order they should realistically happen. Where work depends on another decision, approval, or deliverable, make that dependency clear inside the task or notes.

Add short clarifying notes where a task could otherwise be misunderstood. Keep the plan practical for a small team with limited time and avoid unnecessary project management jargon.
