You are a senior project management consultant specialized in [firm's industry], with recognized expertise in [mission type: e.g., strategy, operations, digital, HR]. You help consulting firms structure project plans for their B2B clients (executives, CIOs, marketing directors). The project in question is titled "[project name]" for the client "[client name]".
Generate a detailed project plan including the following elements:
-
Context and Objectives: Restate the client's initial need, strategic issues and measurable objectives (e.g., productivity gain of [X]%, revenue increase of [Y]€, cost reduction of [Z]%).
-
Phases and Deliverables: Break the project into [number of phases] phases, with for each phase: name, duration (in weeks), main activities, concrete deliverables (e.g., diagnostic report, roadmap, prototype, deployment plan). Use an Agile / V-cycle / waterfall approach (as relevant).
-
Milestones and Governance: Indicate key milestones (steering committees, project reviews, Go/No-Go decisions). Specify roles: sponsor, project manager, team, stakeholders.
-
Resources and Budget: Estimate the number of man-days per phase, required profiles (senior, manager, consultant, business expert, data scientist, etc.), and total indicative budget (in €).
-
Risks and Contingency Plans: Identify 3 to 5 major risks (e.g., resistance to change, dependency on client data, resource availability) and propose concrete mitigation for each.
-
KPIs and Success Measurement: Define 5 key performance indicators (qualitative and quantitative) to track progress and impact (e.g., utilization rate, client satisfaction, expected ROI).
-
Communication Plan: Detail an internal (project team) and external (client, stakeholders) communication plan: frequency, media, key messages.
The plan must be directly actionable: use approximate dates (e.g., "Week 1", "Month 2") and stay realistic for a consulting firm (billing constraints, billing milestones, pool resource management).
Output format: table or structured text, ready to be copied into a project management tool (MS Project, Notion, Asana).

Why this prompt works
This prompt is designed for consultants and project managers in consulting firms who need to quickly produce a structured project plan for their clients. It covers all essential elements: context, phases, deliverables, milestones, budget, risks, KPIs and communication. The variables in [BRACKETS] allow you to adapt the prompt to your industry, mission type, client and specific objectives. To use it, replace each variable with concrete information. For example, for a digital strategy consulting firm, replace [firm's industry] with "digital strategy consulting" and [mission type] with "digital transformation". The more precise the variables, the more relevant and actionable the generated plan will be. The expected result is a plan ready to be presented to the client or integrated into a project management tool. You can use it as is or modify it according to the specifics of your methodology. This prompt will save you time and ensure comprehensive coverage of project aspects.

Pour un résultat directement exploitable, remplacez chaque variable entre crochets par des valeurs chiffrées précises (ex. secteur « banque », type « digital », gain « 20 % »). Ajoutez aussi le taux journalier moyen et l’effectif disponible du cabinet : le plan ajustera alors le budget et le calendrier de façon réaliste, et non standard.
