#34Chapter 04 — Claude for Project Management & Productivity
I need to present a decision to stakeholders. Help me create a decision document. **The decision:** [What needs to be decided — e.g., "Which CRM platform should we adopt?"] **Context:** [Why this decision matters now. What prompted it. Any constraints — budget, timeline, team preferences.] **Options:** - Option A: [Describe it] - Option B: [Describe it] - Option C: [Describe it — or "status quo / do nothing"] **Evaluation criteria:** [What matters most — e.g., cost, ease of adoption, integration with existing tools, scalability, vendor support] Create a decision document with: 1. **Executive summary** — The decision needed, in 2-3 sentences. 2. **Criteria and weighting** — List the evaluation criteria. Assign each a weight (high/medium/low priority). 3. **Options analysis** — For each option, evaluate against each criterion. Be specific about costs, benefits, and tradeoffs. Don't be diplomatically vague — be direct about weaknesses. 4. **Comparison table** — Options as columns, criteria as rows, with brief assessments. 5. **Recommendation** — Pick one. Explain why. Acknowledge what you're giving up. 6. **Risks of the recommendation** — What could go wrong with this choice. 7. **Next steps** — If stakeholders approve, what happens first?
