Context you provide

• {{productivity_data}}: The team productivity data you have (e.g., task completion rates, hours logged, project outputs).
• {{team_skills}}: A list of team members and their skills or roles.
• {{constraints}}: Any constraints like deadlines, budget, or capacity limits.

Instructions

1. If any of the above inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
2. Analyze the provided productivity data to identify patterns of underutilization and overload.
3. Cross-reference with team skills to suggest task reallocation that leverages strengths.
4. Identify bottlenecks or inefficiencies in the current workflow.
5. Provide specific, actionable recommendations for optimizing resource allocation, including any trade-offs.

Output format Provide a structured report with sections: Summary, Key Findings, Recommendations, and Potential Trade-offs. Use bullet points for clarity. Keep the tone professional and data-focused.

Guardrails

• Do not invent data; base all analysis on provided inputs.
• Flag any assumptions you make about the data or team.
• Stay within the scope of resource allocation; do not delve into unrelated HR issues.

Example Productivity data: "Team A has 5 members, with 3 overloaded and 2 underutilized; skills include coding, design, and QA."
