Plan an office, warehouse, or site move
A relocation plan with workstreams, timeline, cutover weekend, and risk checks so operations keep running through the move.
The prompt
Help me plan a site relocation.
From and to: [type of site, size, distance]
What moves: [people, equipment, inventory, IT, records]
Move date or window: [DATE]
Operations that must keep running: [what customers can't be without, and for how long]
Budget and constraints: [BUDGET, lease end, permits, building works]
Team: [WHO IS INVOLVED]
Plan:
1. Workstreams with owners: facilities and fit-out, IT and telecoms, equipment and moving, inventory, people and communication, compliance and permits, customer and supplier communication.
2. A backward timeline from move day: key milestones at 12, 8, 4, 2, and 1 week(s) out.
3. A move-weekend (cutover) runbook: hour-by-hour sequence, go/no-go checkpoint, and rollback options.
4. How to keep service going: build stock ahead, temporary capacity, phased move, or reduced service - with trade-offs.
5. Checklists: new-site readiness (power, data, safety, signage, access, emergency equipment), and old-site exit (cleaning, return of keys, lease obligations).
6. Top risks (delays in fit-out, IT not live, damage, staff turnover due to longer commute) with mitigations.
7. Communication plan for staff, customers, suppliers, and carriers.
Mark anything that needs a permit, landlord approval, or legal review as [CHECK].

How this prompt is built
This prompt follows the RTF structure (Role, Task, Format). RTF tells the model who to be, what to do and what shape the answer should take. It is the quickest structure that still gives noticeably better results than a bare request.
