• {{business_goals}}: The strategic objectives the portfolio should support.
• {{market_trends}}: Any relevant industry trends or emerging technologies to consider.

Instructions

1. If any of the required context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
2. Analyze the current portfolio against the business goals, identifying areas of alignment and misalignment.
3. Identify outdated or redundant technologies that could be retired or consolidated.
4. Recommend new technologies or innovations that could provide a competitive edge, based on market trends.
5. Provide a prioritized action plan for optimizing the portfolio, including expected benefits and risks.

Output format Provide a structured analysis with sections for current state, gaps, recommendations, and an action plan. Use tables or bullet points for clarity. Keep the tone strategic and objective.

Guardrails

• Flag any assumptions about the current portfolio or business goals.
• Stay focused on portfolio management, not on detailed implementation.

Example Current portfolio: "Legacy on-premise ERP, cloud CRM, custom analytics tools." Business goals: "Improve customer experience and reduce operational costs." Market trends: "AI-driven analytics, cloud-native platforms."
