All templates use the three-level drag-and-drop structure of deliverables, work packages, and tasks.

-
Use ChatGPT as an adjunct team member for brainstorming elements of your project. The key to using ChatGPT is how you ask the question. Consider asking follow-up questions to gain more details.

Some components have documents attached containing ChatGPT responses to the questions that were entered.
-
Solution Deliverables - These are the things the project will produce. Projects produce deliverables to be used in a particular way in order to accomplish the project's goals and objectives.
-
We recommend labeling solution deliverable as a noun, and starting work packages and tasks with a verb. This helps provide focus.
-
Customize the solution deliverables, their work packages, and tasks for your specific project.

Projects created using this starting template, that were updated during usage can be converted into a custom templates.

Components that have a "?" contain advice that was preloaded by the template creator. Tap the "?" to access the advice.
