Definition

ENTERPRISE AI / CONTROLLED WORKFLOW
What is an AI roadmap?
An AI roadmap is a staged plan that connects business objectives to data, models, software integration, governance and measurable outcomes. It should describe what the organization will build or adopt, in what order, and how success or failure will be measured.
Start with workflows, not model names
A useful roadmap begins with specific tasks: searching internal knowledge, drafting support replies, extracting invoice fields or inspecting images. The team then identifies data sources, error costs and existing software before choosing a model.
Move from pilot to controlled deployment
Early pilots should use limited scope and measurable evaluation. A production stage adds access controls, logging, human review, incident handling and cost monitoring. The roadmap should also specify when a use case will be stopped if it does not create enough value.
