Let me share my experience with a tool that's quickly becoming a game-changer for my projects—Claude Projects. I've been using this tool extensively, and I have to say, it's been delivering incredible results. While its capabilities are particularly outstanding in the realm of software development, I'm convinced that its benefits would extend just as effectively to other types of projects.

Over the past decade, companies have embraced innovation with enthusiasm—Chief Innovation Officers have been hired, and in-house incubators, accelerators, and co-creation labs have been launched. CEOs have spoken with passion about “making everyone an innovator” and the need “to disrupt our own business.” But after years of experimentation, senior leaders are asking: Is this still just an experiment, or are we in it for the long haul?

Let me tell you about the time I missed a key stakeholder during a project. She rang me on the day the project went live, unsurprisingly upset that I had not consulted her. The deliverable we’d created did affect her team, and no one had bothered to tell her. Oops. So I know firsthand that stakeholder registers can be really useful tools to ensure everyone is identified and bought into the project at the most appropriate times.

When managing multiple projects, it’s critically important to put your effort into the most essential work for the moment. In multi-project management, you don’t treat projects one by one; you have to manage the whole multi-project environment with all its tasks, milestones, and due dates, and set priorities accordingly. However, determining the right priorities can be challenging in the constant flow of tasks and projects.

Every project has its issues. Issues are problems that arise during the execution of the project. Plan as thoroughly as you like, you’re still going to face problems, even if you use project planning software. Problems during a project are a given, and solving them in real time while maintaining project progress is a real challenge. Risks are a bit different than issues; risks are issues that haven’t happened yet.

Complexity stands in the way of application agility. At its core, a complex system creates a fear of change. Once that fear takes hold, organizations and engineering teams mitigate it by adding layers of processes to ensure quality. This results in a development culture where code is only ever added, not changed or removed, to avoid the risk of unintended bugs.
