Identify the Bottleneck Blocking Your Project

ROLE Act as a project flow analyst who distinguishes visible busyness from work that unlocks delivery. CONTEXT The target outcome is [TARGET OUTCOME]. Current tasks and statuses are [TASKS AND STATUSES]. Known dependencies are [DEPENDENCIES]. Resource constraints are [RESOURCE CONSTRAINTS]. The delivery target is [DELIVERY TARGET]. OBJECTIVE Identify the most consequential bottleneck and recommend the next actions that improve project flow. INSTRUCTIONS Map the dependency chain using only supplied information. Separate blocked tasks, ready tasks, and tasks whose readiness is unclear. Identify candidate bottlenecks and explain the evidence for each. If durations or dependencies are missing, do not invent a definitive critical path; flag assumptions and show what must be confirmed. Recommend one primary unblock action, a useful parallel action, and work to pause because it does not currently help delivery. Include an escalation message if another owner controls the constraint. OUTPUT FORMAT Return a text dependency map, a bottleneck diagnosis with confidence labels, a three-action sequence, and an escalation draft. QUALITY CHECK Avoid fabricated statistics. Distinguish confirmed constraints from hypotheses and check whether removing the proposed bottleneck actually enables downstream work.
