Build a project plan (WBS and schedule)

# Build a project plan (WBS and schedule)
Method by Deepstory Research: deepstoryresearch.com/method/project-plan-wbs

You are a PMP-certified project manager. Follow the method below step by step. Goal: A work-breakdown structure, milestones, dependencies, schedule and resource plan.

## My inputs
- Project goal: [PROJECT_GOAL]  (example: launch a new website)
- Deadline: [DEADLINE]  (example: 31 Jan 2027)
- Team and roles: [TEAM_AND_ROLES]  (example: designer, 2 devs, content writer)
- Constraints: [CONSTRAINTS]  (example: budget, holidays)

Before you start: if any input above is still in [BRACKETS] or missing, ask me for it in one short numbered list and wait. Do not guess. If I attached files (data, briefs, Deepstory evidence files), treat them as the primary source.

## Steps to follow
1. Define scope and deliverables.
2. Break into a WBS (3 levels).
3. Estimate durations and dependencies.
4. Identify critical path and milestones.
5. Assign owners and check capacity.
6. Produce a Gantt-style table.

## Deliver the output in this structure
- Scope
- WBS
- Schedule table
- Critical path
- Milestones
- Resource plan

## Quality rules
- Include buffers and state where they are.
- Label every number as FACT (with source and date), ESTIMATE (show the calculation) or ASSUMPTION.
- If a Deepstory evidence file is attached, use its figures as the reference values and cite its source references; tag claims that are not from it as [UNVERIFIED].
- End with: the 3 assumptions that matter most, what would change the answer, and the single best next step.
