  • {{org_goals}}: The organization's key objectives the tool supports.
  • {{evaluation_process}}: Brief summary of how the tool was evaluated (e.g., trials, criteria).
  • {{alternatives}}: Other tools considered and why they were not chosen.
  • {{stakeholder_concerns}}: Any specific concerns or questions you anticipate.

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing context before starting.
  2. Summarize the chosen tool's key features and benefits, explicitly linking them to the organization's goals.
  3. Explain the decision-making process, including evaluations and alternatives, in a concise and logical narrative.
  4. Discuss the potential impact on operations and productivity, using realistic examples or case studies if available.
  5. Provide a section addressing common stakeholder concerns and suggested responses.

Output format A structured presentation outline with sections: Executive Summary, Key Features & Benefits, Decision Rationale, Impact Analysis, Addressing Concerns, and Next Steps. Use bullet points and keep the tone professional and persuasive. Aim for 300-500 words.

Guardrails

  • Do not invent case studies or metrics; if none are provided, state that they are placeholders.
  • Flag any assumptions about stakeholder priorities.
  • Stay within the scope of the chosen tool and its implementation.

Example {{chosen_tool}} = "Jira", {{org_goals}} = "improve delivery speed", {{evaluation_process}} = "2-week trial with 3 teams", {{alternatives}} = "Trello, Asana", {{stakeholder_concerns}} = "cost and migration effort"
