# Project Management

Use this skill for delivery planning and team-facing coordination artifacts.

## Core Outputs

When the user does not specify a format, default to one of these:

- implementation plan
- milestone table
- risk register
- stakeholder update
- sprint plan
- dependency map

## Default Structure

For delivery planning, use:

1. Goal
2. Scope
3. Milestones
4. Risks and mitigations
5. Dependencies
6. Owners or recommended owners
7. Next 3 concrete actions

For status updates, use:

1. Overall status
2. What moved this period
3. Current blockers
4. Decisions needed
5. Next checkpoint

## Working Rules

- Treat estimates as assumptions, not promises.
- Name the biggest risks early.
- Sequence high-uncertainty work before polish work.
- Prefer smaller deliverable increments over large all-at-once plans.
- If dates are requested without capacity data, state the assumption clearly.
- When the user asks for something pasteable into a team tool, keep formatting plain and compact.

## Common Patterns

### Risk Register

Use a compact table or bullet list with:

- risk
- impact
- probability
- mitigation
- owner

### Sprint Plan

Break work into:

- sprint goal
- committed items
- stretch items
- dependencies
- explicit exit criteria

### Stakeholder Update

Keep it short and decision-oriented:

- objective
- current state
- what changed
- risk or ask
- next checkpoint

## Pitfalls

- Do not commit to deadlines without listing assumptions.
- Do not hide dependencies in prose.
- Do not confuse activity with progress; anchor on outcomes.
- Do not generate ceremony for its own sake when a lighter artifact will do.
