FAQ
What exactly is Delivery Navigator?
It is a unified platform that provides your teams with Google Cloud Consulting’s proprietary "methods"—standardized project plans, technical blueprints, and step-by-step instructions for implementing business solutions on Google Cloud. It’s designed to help internal teams execute complex cloud and AI projects with the same consistency and expertise as Google’s own professional services.
How does this differ from standard project management tools like Jira or Asana?
Project management tools are empty containers for tasks. Delivery Navigator provides the content to fill them. It contains 90+ "methods" (the intellectual property of how to build on Google Cloud) that can be exported directly into your existing Jira, Smartsheet, or Asana tools.
Does Delivery Navigator support generative AI projects?
Yes. It includes dedicated technical tracks specifically for AI and Machine Learning. These tracks guide your team through data pipeline setup, model training, and production deployment using Google vetted best practices to move you from pilot to production faster.
Can my team customize the project plans?
Absolutely. While the platform provides an expert-level "baseline," your project managers can tailor deliverables, adjust timelines, and modify tasks to fit your organization's specific team structure and business goals.
Who is the ideal user for Delivery Navigator?
It is built for project managers, cloud architects, and engineers who are responsible for the successful implementation of cloud initiatives. It serves as a force multiplier for those who need to standardize delivery across multiple work streams and ensure their technical teams are following the most efficient, Google vetted path.
