AI Project Cycle 
In this chapter, we will revisit the concept of AI Project Cycle. 
Introduction 
Let us assume that you have to make a greeting card for your mother as it is her birthday. You are very 
excited about it and have thought of many ideas to execute the same. Let us look at some of the steps 
which you might take to accomplish this task: 
1. Look for some cool greeting card ideas from different sources. You might go online and 
checkout some videos or you may ask someone who has knowledge about it. 
2. After finalising the design, you would make a list of things that are required to make this card. 
3. You will check if you have the material with you or not. If not, you could go and get all the 
items required, ready for use. 
4. Once you have everything with you, you would start making the card. 
5. If you make a mistake in the card somewhere which cannot be rectified, you will discard it and  
start remaking it. 
6. Once the greeting card is made, you would gift it to your mother. 
Are these steps relatable?

These steps show how we plan to execute the tasks around us. Consciously or Subconsciously our 
mind makes up plans for every task which we have to accomplish which is why things become clearer 
in our mind. Similarly, if we have to develop an AI project, the AI Project Cycle provides us with an 
appropriate framework which can lead us towards the goal. The AI Project Cycle mainly has 5 stages:

Starting with Problem Scoping, you set the goal for your AI project by stating the problem which you 
wish to solve with it. Under problem scoping, we look at various parameters which affect the problem 
we wish to solve so that the picture becomes clearer.  
To proceed,  
? You need to acquire data which will become the base of your project as it will help you in 
understanding what the parameters that are related to problem scoping are.  
? You go for data acquisition by collecting data from various reliable and authentic sources. 
Since the data you collect would be in large quantities, you can try to give it a visual image of 
different types of representations like graphs, databases, flow charts, maps, etc. This makes 
it easier for you to interpret the patterns which your acquired data follows.  
? After exploring the patterns, you can decide upon the type of model you would build to 
achieve the goal. For this, you can research online and select various models which give a 
suitable output.  
? You can test the selected models and figure out which is the most efficient one.  
? The most efficient model is now the base of your AI project and you can develop your 
algorithm around it.  
? Once the modelling is complete, you now need to test your model on some newly fetched 
data. The results will help you in evaluating your model and improving it. 
? Finally, after evaluation, the project cycle is now complete and what you get is your AI project. 
Let us understand each stage of the AI Project Cycle in detail. 
Problem Scoping 
It is a fact that we are surrounded by problems. They could be small or big, sometimes ignored or 
sometimes even critical. Many times, we become so used to a problem that it becomes a part of our 
life. Identifying such a problem and having a vision to solve it, is what Problem Scoping is about. A lot 
of times we are unable to observe any problem in our surroundings. In that case, we can take a look 
at the Sustainable Development Goals. 17 goals have been announced by the United nations which 
are termed as the Sustainable Development Goals. The aim is to achieve these goals by the end of 
2030. A pledge to do so has been taken by all the member nations of the UN.

Here are the 17 SDGs. Let’s take a look: 
 
As you can see, many goals correspond to the problems which we might observe around us too. One 
should look for such problems and try to solve them as this would make many lives better and help 
our country achieve these goals. 
Scoping a problem is not that easy as we need to have a deeper understanding around it so that the 
picture becomes clearer while we are working to solve it. Hence, we use the 4Ws Problem Canvas to 
help us out. 
4Ws Problem Canvas 
The 4Ws Problem canvas helps in identifying the key elements related to the problem. 
 
Let us go through each of the blocks one by one. 
Who? 
The “Who” block helps in analysing the people getting affected directly or indirectly due to it. Under 
this, we find out who the ‘Stakeholders’ to this problem are and what we know about them. 
Stakeholders are the people who face this problem and would be benefitted with the solution. Here is 
the Who Canvas:

Under this block, you also gather evidence to prove that the problem you have selected actually exists. 
Newspaper articles, Media, announcements, etc are some examples. Here is the What Canvas: 
 
Where? 
Now that you know who is associated with the problem and what the problem actually is; you need 
to focus on the context/situation/location of the problem. This block will help you look into the 
situation in which the problem arises, the context of it, and the locations where it is prominent. Here

our country achieve these goals. 
Scoping a problem is not that easy as we need to have a deeper understanding around it so that the 
picture becomes clearer while we are working to solve it. Hence, we use the 4Ws Problem Canvas to 
help us out. 
4Ws Problem Canvas 
The 4Ws Problem canvas helps in identifying the key elements related to the problem. 
 
Let us go through each of the blocks one by one. 
Who? 
The “Who” block helps in analysing the people getting affected directly or indirectly due to it. Under 
this, we find out who the ‘Stakeholders’ to this problem are and what we know about them. 
Stakeholders are the people who face this problem and would be benefitted with the solution. Here is 
the Who Canvas: 
Who? What? Where? Why?
 
 
 
What? 
Under the “What” block, you need to look into what you have on hand. At this stage, you need to 
determine the nature of the problem. What is the problem and how do you know that it is a problem? 
Under this block, you also gather evidence to prove that the problem you have selected actually exists. 
Newspaper articles, Media, announcements, etc are some examples. Here is the What Canvas: 
 
Where? 
Now that you know who is associated with the problem and what the problem actually is; you need 
to focus on the context/situation/location of the problem. This block will help you look into the 
situation in which the problem arises, the context of it, and the locations where it is prominent. Here 
is the Where Canvas: 
 
 
 
Why? 
You have finally listed down all the major elements that affect the problem directly. Now it is 
convenient to understand who the people that would be benefitted by the solution are; what is to be 
solved; and where will the solution be deployed. These three canvases now become the base of why 
you want to solve this problem. Thus, in the “Why” canvas, think about the benefits which the 
stakeholders would get from the solution and how it will benefit them as well as the society. 
 
After filling the 4Ws Problem canvas, you now need to summarise all the cards into one template. The 
Problem Statement Template helps us to summarise all the key points into one single Template so 
that in future, whenever there is need to look back at the basis of the problem, we can take a look at 
the Problem Statement Template and understand the key elements of it.
