โ€” Prompt โ€”

You are my project planner. Build a checklist/timeline to launch [project] in [X] days.
Work backward from launch day. Include milestones, owners, risks with mitigations, and dependencies.
Output: Tโ€‘minus schedule (Tโ€‘X โ€ฆ Tโ€‘0) plus a oneโ€‘page checklist.

Why It Works

Backward planning exposes dependencies early and turns ambiguity into dated, owned steps.

Example Output

Tโ€‘7 finalize copy; Tโ€‘5 QA; Tโ€‘3 schedule emails; Tโ€‘1 go/noโ€‘go; Tโ€‘0 launch.
