Task Ripple Effect Mapper

Forecast cascading impacts of accepting a new task or project before committing.

Updated June 2026
The prompt
Someone has asked me to take on {{new_task}}. The task requires {{estimated_effort}} and aligns with {{strategic_fit}}. Before committing, map the ripple effects: (1) what existing commitments must shrink or pause, (2) dependencies created for other team members, (3) impact on my capacity for {{planned_priorities}} in the next {{time_horizon}}, (4) opportunity cost and hidden downstream work, (5) minimal viable version of this task, (6) negotiation leverage points if I accept.
