Project Planning Templates

This folder contains comprehensive templates for creating new documentation that integrates seamlessly with the Edge AI Project Planning framework.

Template Overview

These templates provide a complete framework for documenting edge AI implementation scenarios, platform capabilities, and integration patterns.

Scenario Templates

Capability Templates

Template Structure & Purpose

Scenario Documentation Template

Purpose: Complete scenario README template with comprehensive structure and implementation planning

Key Sections:

  • YAML frontmatter with scenario metadata
  • Scenario overview with technical description
  • Critical capabilities mapping with implementation phases
  • 4-phase implementation roadmap (PoC, PoV, Production, Scale)
  • Business planning and ROI analysis with risk assessment
  • Implementation success checklist and advancement criteria
  • Related scenarios and cross-platform synergies

Target Audience: Technical architects, project managers, business stakeholders, implementers

Scenario README Template

Purpose: Navigation and quick-start guide for scenario implementation

Key Sections:

  • Implementation approach overview
  • Resource organization and navigation
  • Getting started guides by persona
  • Key resources and documentation links

Target Audience: Developers, implementers, new team members

Prerequisites Template

Purpose: Comprehensive requirements and readiness assessment

Key Sections:

  • Technical infrastructure requirements
  • Platform capability prerequisites
  • Organizational readiness assessment
  • Regulatory and compliance requirements

Target Audience: Project managers, technical architects, operations teams

Capability Mapping Template

Purpose: Detailed technical capability analysis and integration planning

Key Sections:

  • Implementation phase analysis
  • Detailed capability evaluation with scoring
  • Integration patterns and data flows
  • Gap analysis and recommendations

Target Audience: Technical architects, platform engineers, capability developers

Usage Guidelines

Creating a New Scenario

  1. Start with the Scenario Documentation Template

    • Use the Scenario Documentation Template as your complete README.md structure
    • Replace all placeholder content like [SCENARIO_NAME] with your specific scenario details
    • Focus on technical implementation approach and business transformation
  2. Analyze Technical Requirements

    • Use the Prerequisites Template to document all technical and organizational requirements
    • Use the Capability Mapping Template for detailed technical capability analysis
  3. Create Implementation Guide

    • Use the Scenario README Template to create navigation and quick-start documentation
    • Organize resources for different stakeholder personas
  4. Establish Folder Structure

    • Create a dedicated folder: /docs/project-planning/scenarios/your-scenario-name/
    • Place the main scenario README.md (from documentation template) in the scenario folder
    • Place supporting documents in the same scenario-specific folder

Recommended File Organization

/docs/project-planning/scenarios/
└── your-scenario-name/                      # Scenario-specific folder
    ├── README.md                            # Main scenario documentation (from documentation template)
    ├── prerequisites.md                     # Requirements and readiness assessment
    ├── capability-mapping.md                # Detailed capability analysis
    └── [additional-resources]/              # Supporting documentation

Template Features

Docsify Integration

  • Metadata Support: Templates include guidance for Docsify frontmatter when needed
  • Navigation Structure: Consistent structure supports automated navigation generation
  • Cross-Reference Links: Templates include proper linking patterns for documentation discoverability

Responsible AI Footer

All templates include the standard responsible AI footer that emphasizes:

  • Implementation following responsible AI principles
  • Appropriate governance and human oversight
  • Ethical considerations for AI-powered solutions

Capability Framework Integration

  • Four-Dimensional Evaluation: Technical Fit, Business Value, Implementation Practicality, Platform Cohesion
  • Phase-Based Implementation: PoC, PoV, Production, Scale phases with specific timelines
  • Scoring Methodology: Consistent 0-10 scoring with detailed justification requirements

Quality Assurance

  • Markdown Linting: Full compliance with .mega-linter.yml configuration
  • Content Guidelines: Specific word count targets and content quality requirements
  • Quality Checklists: Built-in validation checklists for content completeness

Best Practices

Content Development

  1. Business-First Approach: Start with business context and value proposition
  2. Technical Depth: Provide sufficient technical detail for implementation planning
  3. Integration Focus: Emphasize capability integration and cross-scenario benefits
  4. Phased Implementation: Structure content around the four implementation phases

Documentation Quality

  1. Consistent Terminology: Use terminology consistent with existing platform documentation
  2. Actionable Content: Ensure all content provides actionable guidance
  3. Measurable Outcomes: Include specific, measurable success criteria
  4. Cross-References: Provide clear navigation to related scenarios and capabilities

Stakeholder Alignment

  1. Multi-Persona Support: Address needs of different stakeholder personas
  2. Executive Summary: Provide executive-level insights and strategic positioning
  3. Technical Depth: Include sufficient detail for technical implementation teams
  4. Implementation Guidance: Provide practical guidance for project managers and implementers

Contribution Guidelines

Template Improvements

  • Submit improvements through standard contribution channels
  • Ensure changes maintain consistency with existing documentation standards
  • Consider impact on existing scenario documentation

New Scenario Development

  1. Review Existing Scenarios: Understand existing patterns and avoid duplication
  2. Validate Business Case: Ensure scenario addresses real business challenges
  3. Technical Validation: Confirm capability requirements align with platform roadmap
  4. Community Review: Engage community for feedback and validation

Quality Standards

  • Follow all markdown linting rules from .mega-linter.yml
  • Maintain word count guidelines for readability and consistency
  • Include all required sections and quality checklist items
  • Validate all cross-references and external links

Getting Started

  1. Choose Your Template: Select the appropriate template based on your documentation needs
  2. Review Examples: Study existing scenario documentation for patterns and best practices
  3. Plan Your Content: Outline your scenario following the template structure
  4. Develop Iteratively: Create content section by section, validating against quality guidelines
  5. Community Engagement: Share drafts with community for feedback and improvement

These scenario documentation templates are part of the Edge AI Project Planning framework. For questions about template usage or to contribute improvements, please refer to the project planning documentation or engage with the community through established contribution channels.

All scenario documentation should follow responsible AI principles and include appropriate governance, monitoring, and human oversight considerations for AI-powered solutions.
