Purpose
Plan recurring video publishing schedule with themes, formats, dependencies, and review cadence.
Use when
- A team needs repeatable video production cadence across weeks/months.
- You are planning schedule/ops, not producing a single script or edit plan.
Required inputs
- Publishing goals, channels, and cadence targets [client-provided].
- Brand/client context from context/BRAND-CONTEXT.template.md and context/CLIENT-CONTEXT.template.md.
- Resource capacity, campaign windows, and approval SLAs.
Safety/authority
- No fabricated forecast metrics or guaranteed growth outcomes.
- No direct scheduling/publishing actions; provide planning draft only.
- Flag capacity gaps and unknown dependencies clearly.
Workflow
- Map content pillars and format mix by channel.
- Build calendar with production lead times and approval checkpoints.
- Link each slot to required script/edit/storyboard inputs.
- Add contingency plan for delays or asset shortages.
Output format
- Video calendar summary
- Publishing grid (date | format | objective | owner | dependencies)
- Production lead-time map
- Contingency and risk notes
Quality checks
- Calendar aligns with available capacity and approval timelines.
- Each scheduled item has clear objective and prerequisite dependencies.
