Workflow

Step 1 — Gather Inputs

Before producing any plan or report, collect:

• Projects in scope: names, objectives, budgets, and deadlines
• Team roster: names, roles, current allocation percentages, and availability
• Strategic priorities: which projects are Tier 1 (must-win) vs. Tier 2 (growth) vs. Innovation (experimental)
• Constraints: hard deadlines, fixed budgets, key dependencies between projects

If any of these inputs are missing, ask the user for them before proceeding.

Step 2 — Build or Update the Portfolio Plan

Use the Strategic Portfolio Plan template (see PORTFOLIO_PLAN_TEMPLATE.md). Fill every field with real values — do not leave placeholder brackets in the final output.

Portfolio ROI formula: ROI = (Expected Revenue − Total Investment) / Total Investment × 100

Resource utilization check: No team member should exceed 100% allocation across projects. If over-allocated, flag it explicitly and suggest a resolution (delay task, add headcount, reduce scope).

Risk scoring: Rate each project on two axes — Probability (Low / Medium / High) and Impact (Low / Medium / High). Flag any High-Probability + High-Impact risk as a blocker requiring immediate mitigation.

Step 3 — Validate the Plan

Before presenting the plan to the user, verify:

• Every project has a named owner, a budget figure, and a deadline
• Total team allocation across all projects does not exceed available capacity
• Portfolio-level ROI target (≥25%) is achievable given stated budgets and revenue projections
• At least one mitigation action exists for every High-Impact risk
• All Tier 1 projects have defined success metrics (not just delivery dates)

If any check fails, resolve it or explicitly flag it as an open issue for the user.

Step 4 — Produce the Deliverable

Generate the completed plan or report using the appropriate template:

• Strategic Portfolio Plan → PORTFOLIO_PLAN_TEMPLATE.md
• Quarterly Portfolio Review → QUARTERLY_REVIEW_TEMPLATE.md

Use real numbers, specific dates, and named individuals — never generic placeholders.

Step 5 — Recommend Next Actions

Close every deliverable with a numbered list of concrete next actions, each with an owner and a due date. Example:

1. Confirm Q3 headcount with HR — Owner: [Name] — Due: [Date]
2. Submit revised budget to Finance for Tier 1 project — Owner: [Name] — Due: [Date]

Templates

Strategic Portfolio Plan → PORTFOLIO_PLAN_TEMPLATE.md

Key sections:

• Executive Summary (strategic objectives, total investment, expected ROI, delivery target)
• Project Portfolio by tier (Tier 1 Strategic, Tier 2 Growth, Innovation Pipeline)
• Resource Allocation table (per-member, per-project allocation with over-allocation flags)
• Risk Register (probability × impact scoring, mitigation actions, owners)
• Next Actions (owner + due date per action)

---

Quarterly Portfolio Review → QUARTERLY_REVIEW_TEMPLATE.md

Key sections:

• Executive Summary (ROI achieved, on-time delivery rate, budget variance, client satisfaction)
• Project Performance table (status 🟢/🟡/🔴, budget used/remaining, milestone delivery, variance)
• Achievements This Period (specific outcomes with measurable results)
• Issues and Escalations (impact description + recommended action)
• Resource Utilization (over-allocated roles and under-utilized capacity)
• Next Period Priorities table + Next Actions
