Cognitive Project Management for AI (CPMAI)

Vendor-neutral, data-centric, iterative methodology for running AI and machine learning projects, now offered by PMI as PMI-CPMAI.

Definition

Based on CRISP-DM and adapted for AI by Cognilytica (acquired by PMI in 2024), it has six iterative phases: Business Understanding, Data Understanding, Data Preparation, Model Development, Model Evaluation, and Model Operationalization.

Example

A team stops after Data Understanding because the required labeled data does not exist.

Exam tip

CPMAI emphasizes that AI projects are data projects; go/no-go decisions occur early.
