The Delivery · a fortnightly read from delivr

Making sense of AI for people who deliver.

You don't need to be technical, and you're not behind. The Delivery turns the week's AI noise into what actually matters for your projects, and the one thing to do next.

FortnightlyA new issue every second Monday

4 minA read you'll actually finish

FreeTo join, and to stay

New to all this? Good.

If the most AI you've used is Copilot, you're exactly who this is for.

Most project, program and portfolio teams are meeting AI for the first time, with no map. The Delivery is that map, in plain English, with no hype.

No jargon, ever

Every term explained in a line. If we can't say why it matters for your delivery in two sentences, we cut it.

For delivery, not developers

Written for the people running the work, not the people building the models. Always grounded in your actual week.

One clear next step

Every issue ends with what to do next: a prompt to try, a tool to test, a question to raise with your team.

What lands in your inbox

Four things, every fortnight.

A four-minute read you'll actually finish. Each issue carries four tagged pieces, so you always know what you're getting.

AI Tools

What launched, and whether it's worth your time

New tools and features, reviewed through a delivery lens, so you adopt the ones that help and ignore the noise.

Market Intel

The moves that change your budgets and plans

Funding, pricing and the strategic signals behind the headlines, and what they mean for your tooling spend.

Quick Wins

One prompt or template you can use today

A ready-to-use prompt, template or workflow in every issue. Copy, paste, done. No setup required.

Portfolio

What it means for your PMO and tools

Governance, portfolio impact and the PPM tools you already run: Planview, Asana, monday, Jira and the rest.

Why now

AI is already inside your program.

A taste of what we cover. This isn't a forecast. It's happening in delivery teams right now.

AI Tools

AI is writing the weekly status report

Atlassian's Rovo and others now draft status updates straight from your project data. The reporting hour is quietly going away.

Market Intel

Pricing is shifting from per-seat to per-agent

How AI vendors charge is changing, and it lands straight on the tooling budget you have to defend.

Portfolio

Planview is shipping delivery agents

PM, backlog and forecasting agents are arriving in the PPM tools your PMO already runs. Governance has to keep up.

Quick Wins

A full risk register in 30 seconds

Paste your scope, get 8 to 12 prioritised risks back. One of the prompts we've handed subscribers.
