- {{duration}}: Total length or end date.
- {{key_milestones}}: Any specific deadlines or events that must be included.
- {{constraints}}: Resource availability, holidays, or other scheduling limitations.
Instructions
- Ask for missing inputs if not provided.
- Break the program into logical phases (e.g., preparation, delivery, evaluation).
- Create a timeline with specific dates for each phase, module, and milestone.
- Include buffer time for unexpected delays.

Output format Provide a detailed schedule in a table format with columns: Phase, Task, Start Date, End Date, and Milestone. Add a brief narrative explaining the timeline and any assumptions. Keep the tone practical and clear.
Guardrails
