Who This Book Is For
This book is a practical guide to AI project management. Instead of simply combining AI and traditional project management concepts, it goes deep into project and technical lifecycles and the techniques required to successfully implement AI initiatives from initial ideation through final delivery. For that reason, this book is a great resource for:
- Experienced project managers who need practical frameworks to plan, scope, de-risk, and deliver AI projects in real-world environments
- Scrum masters and product owners who want to adapt Agile practices to the uncertainty, experimentation, and data dependency of AI work
- Technical professionals (e.g., data scientists, machine learning [ML] engineers, AI engineers, developers) who want to better understand governance, stakeholder management, delivery structures, and how their work fits into larger business outcomes
- Other tactical managers (e.g., product, operations, and IT managers; innovation and transformation leads) responsible for executing AI initiatives and coordinating cross-functional teams
- Executives and managers looking for guidance on hiring and needing clarity on processes, roles, team design, lifecycle governance, etc.
- Coaches and consultants who support organizations through AI transformations and need structured, field-tested delivery models to guide clients effectively
- Entry-level professionals and career switchers who seek a practical, structured introduction to how organizations’ AI projects are actually run
