Who this is for
Organizations usually call us about this when:
You’ve hired a vendor to implement AI and no one internal can hold them accountable.
The project is drifting on scope, schedule, or quality.
You need someone to run acceptance testing before go-live.
Overview
Once an AI project starts, the vendor has an experienced team and you often have no one with the time or background to hold them to the plan. We act as your product owner and owner’s representative: we prioritize requirements, run vendor check-ins, review progress and quality, lead acceptance testing, and confirm the system is ready before it goes live.
What’s included
- Client-side product owner for the AI project
- Requirements prioritization and backlog decisions
- Regular vendor check-ins and accountability for the plan
- Acceptance testing and go-live readiness review
- Risk, scope, and change request management
- Status reporting to your leadership
