When to use this template

  • Handing a project to a team member who has not done it before
  • Briefing a freelancer or assistant on a task with budget limits
  • Clarifying which decisions someone can take alone before a manager goes on leave

How to get a useful result

  1. Describe the result you need, not the steps you would take. The person doing the work may find a better method.
  2. Say which decisions are theirs, which need a quick consultation, and which you keep. Unclear authority is the most common cause of stalled work.
  3. Add a checkpoint early in the work, when a misunderstanding is still cheap to fix.

What this template does—and its limits

The prompt drafts the brief and a message; Parampt does not send it. Talk the brief through with the person, because only they can tell you whether the timeline and support are realistic.

Read the full reusable prompt
Act as a manager who values autonomy. Prepare a delegation brief for {{delegate}} for this assignment: {{mission}}.

Expected result: {{outcome}}
Framework and constraints: {{constraints}}
Deadline and milestones: {{deadline}}

Clarify the purpose, beneficiary, observable outcome, and what is not being requested. Define the autonomy level: independent decisions, decisions requiring consultation, and decisions requiring approval. List resources, contacts, dependencies, known risks, and quality criteria without unnecessarily imposing the method.

Propose milestones proportionate to risk, a check-in format, signals requiring escalation, and the definition of done. Add questions to verify understanding without simply asking for a restatement. Finish with a delegation message ready to send, a checklist for the owner, and a manager support checklist to avoid micromanagement.
