AI Project Canvas will help you succeed with the next AI initiative. Visualize important components, activities, and potential risks long before the first line of code.
As a deep-tech consultant, I have noticed that Project Managers struggle with IT projects powered by AI. That causes a very high rate of failed projects that don't go beyond the piloting stage. One of the main reasons why they have problems is a lack of awareness that AI projects are very different from traditional IT projects.
I found that there is a need for a tool that might help managers collect and combine all major components of the whole project in one place. Looking at the bigger picture might help AI teams explore the main goal, potential scope, and difficulties long before writing the first line of code.
Taking inspiration from a Business Model Canvas, created by Alexander Osterwalder I have build an AI Project Canvas.
An AI Project Canvas is a detailed plan for Team Leaders, Project Managers who create products and services powered by AI.
It consists of nine building blocks that combined together create a three-stage workflow Build-Deploy-Manage. The Build part relates to the Exploratory Data Analysis that needs to be performed in order to extract information from data. The Deploy part is to put the Machine Learning model into production. The Manage part is related to human and financial resources need to finish the project with success.
It is worth to use it each time when you ...

Spent no more than 30min to fill a canvas. The main goal is to give you a basic understanding of the project and familiarize you with all the missing puzzles. Is not a detailed plan!

AI is a great technology that empowers more and more companies. However, it important to be aware that AI-powered projects differ from traditional software engineering projects.
Introduced AI Project Canvas aims to help grasp a big picture of the project in a fast and easy way. We highly encourage you to use a template before each AI project so that you will have a general overview of all potential difficulties and weaknesses that might occur during sprints.
