Context

• Sponsoring Agency: {{agency_name}}
• Target Constituents: {{target_constituents}}
• Core Public Service: {{core_public_service}}
• Accessibility Standard: {{accessibility_standard}}
• Pilot Window: {{pilot_timeline}}
• Partner Entities: {{partner_agencies}}

Task

Develop a comprehensive MVP rollout plan that coordinates internal readiness, constituent access testing, and operational safeguards for the release of {{core_public_service}}.

Method

1. Establish baseline success metrics focused on citizen task completion rates and administrative processing time.
2. Map the critical user journeys of {{target_constituents}}, noting language and digital literacy variations.
3. Define the phased deployment waves across the specified {{pilot_timeline}}.
4. Embed verification gates for {{accessibility_standard}} compliance prior to expanding user cohorts.
5. Align cross-functional support protocols between {{agency_name}} staff and {{partner_agencies}}.
6. Create an incident management and roll-back trigger mechanism for service interruptions.
7. Detail continuous feedback capture channels for early constituent feedback.

Constraints

• MUST align all milestone criteria with {{accessibility_standard}} mandates.
• MUST NOT include proprietary vendor dependencies without open-standard fallback mechanisms.
• All timelines must be expressed in calendar week increments within {{pilot_timeline}}.
• Resource allocations must specify responsible civic roles rather than generic team names.

Output format

Provide the plan across four structured sections:

• Section 1: Pilot Objectives and Key Metrics (maximum 150 words)
• Section 2: Phased Rollout Schedule (a table with Columns: Wave, Target Audience, Duration, Release Gate)
• Section 3: Agency & Partner Operational Readiness (bulleted action list, maximum 200 words)
• Section 4: Risk Mitigation & Contingency Protocols (3 structured scenarios with trigger, response, and owner)

Self-review
