## Prompt

```text
Turn the different teams' perspectives into one cross-functional action plan.

**Shared goal:** [WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO ACHIEVE, and by when]
**Each team's input:** [PASTE proposals, priorities, constraints, concerns - labeled by team]
**Constraints:** [budget, people, deadlines, systems]
**Decision-maker or sponsor:** [NAME or ROLE]

Steps:
1. Summarize each team's position in 2-3 lines: what they want, what they need from others, what they worry about.
2. Find the overlaps and the trade-offs. Where views conflict, propose a resolution and mark it [NEEDS SPONSOR DECISION] if teams can't settle it themselves.
3. Build one plan: workstreams, actions, one owning team per action, and the handoffs between teams.
4. Make every cross-team handoff explicit: what is handed over, when, and what "ready" means.
5. Set a simple rhythm to keep it on track (e.g. a weekly 30-minute cross-team check-in and a shared tracker).

Return:
1. One-paragraph plan summary with the goal and success measures.
2. Action plan table: # | Action | Owning team | Supporting teams | Due | Depends on | Success measure.
3. Handoff list: From | To | What | When | Definition of ready.
4. Open trade-offs and decisions needed.
5. A short Teams or Slack post introducing the plan and asking each team lead to confirm their actions by a date.

Don't commit any team to work or dates they haven't offered. Mark suggested commitments [PROPOSED - confirm with team].
