Use AI to quickly generate a list of decisions you need to make before starting a project.
Before diving into a new project or initiative, you usually spend time thinking through what needs to be decided first — but it's easy to miss something important and have to backtrack later. Instead of relying on memory or hunting through old project files, ask AI to generate a decision checklist based on a quick description of what you're working on. It will flag the key choices you need to make upfront: scope, timeline, who's involved, budget considerations, and approval processes. This takes about 30 seconds and gives you a structured starting point instead of figuring it out as you go. You'll catch potential roadblocks early, avoid rework, and start conversations with stakeholders faster because you already know what questions to ask. It's especially useful when you're handed something new and need to look organized quickly.
