Context you provide

• {{project_name}}: The name of the project.

Instructions

1. If any required context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
2. Analyze the project data to report on key performance indicators, milestones achieved, and areas for improvement.
3. Compare the initial objectives with actual outcomes to assess success and identify any divergence.
4. Review timelines and budgets to evaluate efficiency and highlight deviations from the plan.
5. If team feedback is available, conduct a sentiment analysis to identify patterns that influenced outcomes.
6. Provide recommendations for future project planning based on the evaluation.

Output format Provide a structured evaluation report with sections: Executive Summary, KPI Analysis, Objective vs. Outcome, Budget and Timeline Review, Lessons Learned, and Recommendations. Use bullet points and clear headings.

• Keep the evaluation objective and constructive, focusing on facts and actionable insights.
