Our AI project plan looks complete but misses approvals. How do we validate it?
Incomplete generated work breakdownValidate the plan against the actual delivery and acceptance process. Check review, approval, handoff, procurement, testing, and operational tasks as well as build work. Assign owners to review omissions before the plan becomes a baseline.
What to do now
- Compare the draft with the delivery lifecycle
- Add acceptance and approval work
- Validate dependencies and responsible owners
- Approve the corrected baseline
When to escalate
An omitted gate would prevent lawful or authorized delivery.
The AI service owner and relevant authorized reviewer
Example
A generated website plan includes development but omits accessibility review and content approval.
Mistake to avoid
Treating a long task list as proof that the plan is complete.
Prevent a repeat
Re-evaluate after changes to models, prompts, tools or source data; keep important decisions accountable to people.
Suggested ApprovedFlow setup
- Tasks
- Documents
- Approvals
Track evaluation and review tasks, and keep approved evidence with the work; do not claim the platform provides an unverified AI agent or automated diagnosis. See the platform
