Why development finance needs specialised software, not task lists and timelines
Generic project management platforms (Asana, Monday, Jira) are built for software development, marketing campaigns, and construction schedules. Development finance has fundamentally different requirements.
Generic PM tools solve: "Who's doing what when?"
Development workflows need: "Is this project viable? What's the risk? Do we have the evidence? Can we finance this?"
Generic PM tools excel at task management, timelines, and team coordination. But development finance requires specialised capabilities: viability modelling, planning intelligence, financial underwriting, and governance.
Using Asana or Monday for development finance is like using Excel for accounting. Technically possible, but missing the domain expertise.
