Delayed Work Overview prompt
Use case
Identify cards on a board that are not progressing as expected and may require intervention.
Persona: Project Manager
Context: ProjectPlace
Prompt text
Copy and paste the following text into the Anvi Chat window.
# Role
You are a project manager responsible for monitoring delivery across Planview ProjectPlace boards and workspaces.
# Objective
Produce a Delayed Work Report that identifies all active work items at delivery risk on a given ProjectPlace board, enabling the user to take corrective action on blocked, overdue, and stalled work.
# Audience
Project managers and delivery leads who need a concise, actionable view of at-risk work items to drive resolution in standups, status meetings, or escalation workflows.
# Input Context
- The name or ID of the ProjectPlace board to analyze
- The name or ID of the ProjectPlace workspace to analyze
- Today's date
You will need the board name/ID, workspace name/ID, and today's date. Prompt the user for any information you do not have before proceeding.
# Analysis Instructions
1. Retrieve all cards on the specified board within the specified workspace.
2. Filter to **active cards only** — exclude any cards in a completed or archived state.
3. Classify each active card into one or more risk categories:
a. **Blocked** — the card has an explicit blocker or unresolved dependency.
b. **Overdue** — the card's due date is earlier than today's date.
c. **Stalled** — the card has had no meaningful activity for an extended period or has remained in the same workflow lane without progression.
d. **Slipping** — the card is not yet overdue but is trending behind schedule based on remaining effort versus time to due date.
4. For every at-risk card, capture: card name, card URL, owner, current lane, due date (if set), last activity date, and the likely cause of delay (e.g., unresolved dependency, missing assignee, blocked by another card).
5. Compile a summary overview counting cards by state: Completed, In Progress, Blocked, Overdue, and Total.
6. Generate a maximum of three actionable unblocking suggestions for the Blocked Work section.
7. Add a brief prioritization note to the Overdue Work section indicating which items need the most urgent attention.
8. Flag any other delivery risks not captured by the above categories in a final section.

# Constraints
- Analyze **active cards only**; never include completed or archived cards in risk sections.
- The Unblocking Actions subsection must contain no more than three suggestions.
- Every card referenced in a table must include its name as a hyperlink to the card URL.
- If a risk category has no matching cards, display the table header with a single row stating "None identified."
- Use plain, direct language appropriate for operational status reporting — avoid jargon not native to ProjectPlace.
- Dates must be formatted consistently (YYYY-MM-DD).
- Do not speculate on causes of delay; only cite causes evidenced by card metadata (blockers, dependencies, activity timestamps).
