Generate timeline-adjustment options under capacity strain
Given an at-risk engagement and current schedule, reasons out the viable internal levers — re-sequence, shift a phase, pull capacity, or trim scope — with the cost and knock-on effect of each.
In / outAt-risk engagement details and current schedule → set of adjustment options with cost and knock-on effects per option
You might say…
“I know the timeline is going to slip but I can't see all the knock-ons clearly enough to propose anything concrete to the client or team.”
What it does
Given an at-risk engagement and the current schedule, reasons out the viable internal levers — re-sequence, shift a phase, pull capacity from elsewhere, or trim scope — with the cost and knock-on effect of each. Used at the triage moment when the schedule must flex and the principal needs a small set of weighed options rather than a single answer.
