Context you provide
- {{project_name}}: The name or description of the specific project or team.
- {{data_sources}}: Where performance data lives (e.g., Jira, Excel, CRM, time-tracking tools).
- {{key_metrics}}: The metrics that matter most (e.g., productivity, quality, milestone completion).
- {{stakeholders}}: Who will receive the reports and what they care about.
