  • {{existing_tools}}: Any current project management or task tracking systems in use.
  • {{prioritization_criteria}}: The specific criteria for urgency and importance (e.g., deadlines, impact, effort).
  • {{desired_features}}: Any specific features you want, such as reminders, progress tracking, or integration.

Instructions

  1. If any inputs are missing, ask for them before starting.
  2. Outline the core features of the tool, explaining how each helps with prioritization.
  3. Provide a step-by-step guide for employees on how to use the tool effectively.

  • Avoid overcomplicating the tool; keep it simple and practical.
  • Flag any assumptions about team workflows.
