    Project Phase Manager — Critical Path, Handoffs & Go/No-Go Gates

    Example session with this skill installed

    Project: City of Redrock — AquaMeter residential water-meter photo-read pilot
    Timeline: week 5 of 10 · pilot go-live before city council vote 15 Nov 2026
    Team roles: City PM, Utility SME, Mobile Eng, Backend Eng, Data Analyst, Field Ops Lead, City Legal (external)
    Constraints: offline-first capture · no cloud PII until Legal signs · city SSO for ops dashboard

    Status now

    • Discovery + success metrics: done
    • Privacy review draft: done · Legal sign-off still open
    • Backend ingestion API: done
    • Offline mobile capture app: ~70% in progress
    • Field Ops labeled meter-image corpus: not delivered → OCR pipeline blocked
    • Ops dashboard: not started (SSO client id pending)
    • Training + 3-neighborhood pilot + council readout: not started

    Ask: phase plan, critical path, handoffs, risks, go/no-go gates, executive status.

    3. Critical path & slack

    Critical path (any slip moves 15 Nov):
    Legal sign-off → mobile capture → Field Ops corpus → OCR → pilot → council readout

    Slack (can slip only if critical path holds): backend API (already done), dashboard start, playbook polish.

    4. Dependency graph (excerpt)

    • Field Ops image corpus → OCR pipeline
    • Legal sign-off → cloud PII pilot traffic
    • OCR outputs + SSO client id → ops dashboard UAT
    • Mobile app + OCR + training → 3-neighborhood go-live → council readout

    Gate rule applied: missing exit deliverable / unmet critical dependency → HOLD (not a soft “maybe”).

    Stakeholder summary (30 seconds):
    AquaMeter is

    off track at week 5 of 10. Ingest API is done and mobile capture is nearly there, but

    OCR is blocked on missing Field Ops photos and

    City Legal has not signed the cloud PII memo. Both sit on the path to the

    15 Nov council-tied pilot. This week: (1) Field Ops photo blitz, (2) Legal escalation with a dated decision, (3) finish offline app, (4) decide scope cut if either blocker slips.

    What you get

    About this skill

    The problem

    • Flat task lists hide the critical path and which delays actually move the end date.
    • Phase handoffs fail when “done” is vague and no one owns the boundary.
    • Stakeholders need a clear on-track / at-risk / off-track read — not a 40-row board dump.

    What it does

    • Groups work into sequential phases with deliverables and owners.
    • Maps dependencies and identifies the critical path vs slack items.
    • Defines a handoff matrix (from / to / what / acceptance) at each boundary.
    • Sets phase gates: GO, GO-WITH-CONDITIONS, or HOLD using explicit rules.
    • Produces a risk register and an executive status snapshot with traffic lights.

    Frameworks & tools

    • Works for product, agency, municipal, and internal delivery projects — stack-agnostic.
    • Uses the goals, deliverables, team roles, and status you provide (mid-project or greenfield).
    • Outputs stay in markdown + JSON for copy into docs, decks, or tickets — no PM SaaS required.

    Why this beats prompting it yourself

    • Deterministic gate rules (missing critical dependency → HOLD, not a soft “maybe”).
    • Critical path vs slack called out explicitly.
    • Handoffs and acceptance criteria reduce dropped work at boundaries.
    • Anti-fabrication: assumptions labeled; no invented owners or fake % complete.
    • Stakeholder summary designed for a 30-second read.
