Even after decades of methods and qualifications, success rates remain stubbornly low. One source summary says only 0.5% of projects deliver full outcomes, and another says only 35% succeed. Confluity is designed to help people focus on the few things that make the biggest difference.
Why leaders should care
A large share of company spend sits inside projects. Better upfront thinking can improve forecasting, support earlier decisions about what to start, and lead to better conversations about scope, resources, and value.
Think of it like this. Around 20% of company spend is tied into projects. Better estimating could improve forecasting accuracy by 30–50%.

Questions you may have
What is Project Setup?
Project Setup is the free starting route for using Confluity on one real project before key decisions are made. It helps you capture the basic project facts, check readiness against the 12 rules, manage first checklist actions, and open selected starter plays. The aim is to help you see what needs attention before you learn the whole Deliver a Project model.
Is it free, and when would I need Pro?
You can explore the Deliver a Project model and run the quick readiness check without signing up.
Create a free account when you want to save your work, return to a project, use selected starter plays, or manage checklist actions. Project Setup is free and does not need a credit card.
Upgrade to Pro when you want the full playbook, more templates, AI-enabled tools, deeper readiness checks, export and sharing features, or guidance for live project situations.
Who is Confluity most useful for?
Confluity is useful for anyone who has been given project work and needs a credible first move.
It is especially useful when the project is real, but the setup, sponsor conversation, risks, or next steps still feel unclear. It can help newer project managers, delivery leads, team members, consultants, sponsors, and people carrying delivery responsibility without much formal authority.
Can I use this with my existing process or a live project?
Yes. Confluity is designed to work alongside your existing process, not replace it.
If your project is already live, use Project Setup as a reset point before the next meeting, review, or decision. It helps you check what is clear, what is weak, and what needs attention before the project drifts further. You can then bring the output back into your normal plans, reports, meetings, or task tools.
How is Confluity different, and why should I trust it?
Most work management tools help you track tasks, owners, and dates. Confluity helps you check whether the project is set up well enough for the next decision.
It draws on research into 2,950 project experts and is curated by Greg Krawczyk ChPP. The project stats on the page are there to show why practical setup, clearer decisions, and early risk signals matter.
Check your projectbefore the next big decision.
Run the quick check. Save your setup later if useful.
Free to start. No credit card.
