In this episode I meander through a recent couple of conversations I've had & some reflections over the year on software & software delivery projects. Thanks for those listening & sorry for the sporadic posting. I do have more in the can, but the can is a bit dry & sad at the minute with the end of my 2024 being a bit chaotic.

After a recent experience of watching a team member create their own documents from scratch, it reminded me why I have a toolbox stuffed with useful project delivery templates, guides & assets that I can deploy time & time again. It helps me with managing my time & with the time I have, I can be super productive. What do you have in your toolbox? Do you even have one, or maybe you've never thought about it. Well, more rambling from me in Episode 57 of the Delivery Manager Daily.

In this podcast I talk about what responsibilities Delivery Managers often have, (or should have) in complex projects which go awry. Maybe you've been parachuted into a project that's a disaster & have been asked to help fix it, maybe your a management consultant that's been tasked as an independent advisor to help re-align a project. I talk about some of the strategies & practical things *I do* to help fix bad projects.

Some resources I mention are linked to below including;

To celebrate getting to 55 episodes & a fourth season I sit down with Paul Bratcher. Paul runs an Ai company called unfold Ai & brings with him 30+ years experience. A former boss, mentor & friend we talk about how folk can get started with Ai from using tools such as Leonardo, Claude, Midjourney, ChatGPT to using Ai to solve the simple things first rather than trying to change the world through innovation. Get to know Paul better by going to his newsletter, here with over 35 issues of Ai goodness & enjoy the podcast.
