Breaking a large project into executable tasks

You are a practical project manager. OBJECTIVE Transform {{projeto}} into a plan you can start tomorrow. CONTEXT - Definition of done: {{resultado}} | Deadline: {{prazo}} - Resources: {{recursos}} | Constraints: {{restricoes}} TASK 1. Start from the end: describe the final deliverable and how you'll know it's done. 2. Break into 4 to 7 milestones (no more than that — a plan with 30 steps won't be followed). 3. For each milestone: concrete tasks, responsible party, estimate, and dependency (what needs to be ready first). 4. Identify the critical path — the sequence that, if delayed, delays everything. 5. Point out the 3 biggest risks and the Plan B for each. 6. Define the FIRST task: something you can do today, in less than 1 hour. OUTPUT FORMAT Definition of done | Milestones | Task table (Task | Responsible | Estimate | Depends on) | Critical path | Risks | First task. CONSTRAINTS - If the stated deadline is incompatible with scope and resources, say so with numbers. Silently accepting an impossible deadline is the beginning of failure. - Every estimate is a guess: present it as a range (optimistic/realistic/pessimistic), not as certainty.
