Generative AI Project Planning Toolkit

This project planning toolkit guides you through the key stages of implementing AI solutions in your business. They help structure your thinking and ensure you address critical aspects of AI implementation.

Start with the Problem Canvas to clearly define your challenge and what success looks like. Use the Solution Component Canvas to outline potential approaches and evaluate whether to build, buy, or reuse existing solutions. The Data Processing Canvas helps you assess data requirements and complexity of AI processing needed.

As you progress, use the Risk Canvas to identify and quantify potential issues, then define appropriate guardrails using the Guardrails Canvas. Finally, the Business Case Sheet helps evaluate costs, benefits, and timeline to make informed decisions about implementation.

These templates work best when used together, creating a comprehensive framework for moving from initial idea to successful AI implementation. While this overview provides structure, you'll find detailed guidance on using each template in Chapter 6 of the book 'Making Sense of Generative AI.
