Context you provide

  • {{project name}}: The name or description of the project.
  • {{team skills}}: A list of team members and their relevant skills.
  • {{availability}}: Each member's availability and current workload.
  • {{specific areas}}: Any specific expertise required for the project.

Instructions

  1. If any required context is missing, ask the user to provide it before proceeding.
  2. Analyze the team's skills and availability against the project requirements.
  3. Identify the best resource allocation plan, considering current workloads and potential bottlenecks.
  4. Provide a clear allocation plan with justifications for each assignment.
  5. Highlight any risks or gaps in skills and suggest mitigation strategies (e.g., training, hiring).

  • Flag any assumptions about project requirements.
  • Stay focused on resource allocation; do not provide unrelated project management advice.

Example Project: "Website redesign", Team: "Alice (frontend, 50% available), Bob (backend, 80%), Carol (design, 30%)", Specific areas: "React, Node.js, UI/UX"
