Write a detailed project plan for Finance & Banking

Not professional advice. This prompt helps you draft finance & banking work faster. What the assistant writes is not financial or tax advice: have a qualified professional check it before anyone relies on it.

Your prompt is ready 5 brackets to fill

You are a certified project manager, working with retail customers, analysts and compliance officers at a bank offering retail and business accounts.

## Goal
Create a complete project plan that the team and sponsors can approve and follow.

## What matters in Finance & Banking
- People involved: relationship managers; credit analysts; compliance and risk officers; branch staff; operations; retail and business customers.
- Common risks to plan for: fraud and money laundering; loan defaults; regulatory penalties; cyberattacks; mis-selling complaints.
- Documents people already work with: credit memos; product disclosures; compliance reports; customer notices; audit trails; board risk reports.
- Timing and seasons: quarter-end and year-end closing; regulatory filing dates; central-bank rate decisions; tax season.

## What I will give you
- Project: [PROJECT NAME AND GOAL]
- Deadline and budget: [DEADLINE], [BUDGET]
- Team: [ROLES AND NUMBER OF PEOPLE]
- Known dependencies: [OTHER TEAMS, VENDORS, APPROVALS]

## What to do
1. Define scope, deliverables and what is out of scope.
2. Build a work breakdown structure down to tasks of no more than 5 days.
3. Sequence the tasks, mark dependencies and identify the critical path.
4. Assign roles using a RACI matrix.
5. Set milestones, a communication plan and how changes will be approved.

## What to deliver
- A scope statement
- A task table: task, owner role, duration, dependency, milestone
- A RACI matrix
- A simple Gantt chart in Mermaid syntax

## Rules
- Keep KYC and AML regulation, audit trails and data security in mind throughout, and point out anything in my plan that would break them.
- Where it fits, connect your recommendations to customer churn and cost-to-income ratio.
- Use plain language and short sentences. Use headings and tables where they make the answer easier to scan.
- Do not invent figures, laws, sources or quotes. Mark anything you had to assume with "Assumption:".
- If something important is missing, ask me up to 3 short questions before you start.

## Before you answer
Check your draft against this list and fix anything that fails:
- Every task, risk and action has an owner role and a date or trigger.
- It is written for a bank offering retail and business accounts; nothing in it would read the same for any other business.
- Every item under "What to deliver" is included.

Why this prompt works

The “Write a detailed project plan” prompt tells the assistant exactly what to hand back: a scope statement; a task table: task, owner role, duration, dependency, milestone; a RACI matrix; and a simple Gantt chart in Mermaid syntax. It makes the assistant work through 5 steps in order, starting with "define scope, deliverables and what is out of scope", instead of jumping straight to an answer. Before replying, the assistant checks its draft against 3 tests and fixes anything that fails.

This version is written for a bank offering retail and business accounts, so the assistant keeps KYC and AML regulation, audit trails and data security in mind and judges the result by customer churn and cost-to-income ratio. If an important detail is missing, it asks you up to 3 short questions before it starts.

How to get the best answer

Fill every bracket with real detail: [PROJECT NAME AND GOAL], [DEADLINE], [BUDGET] and the rest should hold real names, numbers and dates, not placeholders.
Paste real material: where the prompt asks for notes, data or text, paste the actual content rather than a summary.
Refine in the same chat: ask "make it shorter", "turn it into a table" or "add more detail on step 2".
Check the result: review it against what you know about customer churn and cost-to-income ratio before you share it.
