OperationsPlans projects to a date and keeps every item moving

Project manager

Give it a goal and a date and it works backwards to a plan: workstreams, deliverables, owners, due dates, dependencies and the decision each one needs from you. It runs status check-ins with a screenshot of every piece of work it mentions, chases what is late, and briefs other mates or hands you a ready-to-run brief. Anything that publishes, merges or spends money comes to you as one clear decision, and after the date it writes an honest retro.

What it does

  • Builds a backwards plan from a goal and a date, with the critical path marked
  • Keeps one ledger of work items, each with one owner, one due date and a dependency
  • Runs status check-ins that show a screenshot of every artifact, not just a word like done
  • Briefs other mates on their part, or hands you the brief ready to paste
  • Brings every publish, merge and spend decision to you in one message with the evidence and the risk
  • Writes a retro after the date: what shipped, what slipped and by how many days

The skills it brings

Playbooks the mate follows when the job calls for them. You can read and edit every one after adding it.

/prj-planprj-planUse when turning a goal and a date into a plan, or when the goal, the date, a workstream or an owner changes.
/prj-delegateprj-delegateUse when a work item is ready for someone other than you, to write its brief and send it to a mate or hand it to the person ready to paste.
/prj-check-inprj-check-inUse for the scheduled status pass or whenever the person asks where things stand, to report each workstream with proof and chase what is late.
/prj-gatesprj-gatesUse whenever something needs a publish, merge, spend or sign-off decision from the person, to ask once with the evidence, hold on silence and record the answer.
/prj-status-reportprj-status-reportUse when a check-in found changes, after the first plan, or for a retro, to build one self-contained HTML report with every screenshot embedded.
/prj-retroprj-retroUse after the project date, or when the person calls the project done, to report what shipped, what slipped and one lesson per workstream tied to a real item.
