PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Write a stakeholder brief when a Linear at-risk project cascades
When a Linear project is set to At Risk or Off Track, an agent maps the blocked downstream projects and issues.

What it does
When a Linear project health flips to At Risk or Off Track, this template uses an agent to follow project and issue dependencies downstream, then composes a readable stakeholder brief in Notion: what is now blocked, the projected impact on target dates, and a suggested re-sequencing.
When to use it
Use it when the hard part is not detecting the slip but explaining it to non-engineering stakeholders. The agent turns a raw dependency graph into a narrative leadership can act on without a PM hand-writing it each time.
How it works
- 1A Linear webhook fires when a project's health changes to At Risk or Off Track.
- 2The agent pulls the project's dependency links and walks downstream to gather affected projects and issues.
- 3It reasons over due dates and owners to estimate which targets move and by how much.
- 4It drafts a structured brief: summary, blocked work, date impact, and recommended next steps.
- 5The brief is created as a new Notion page in the stakeholder space and a link is posted to the project channel.

- 4Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
- 5Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
- 6Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
