Manual: 1.1. Project Plan

The project of introducing the software to your organization has six phases:

1. The software needs to be installed and configured. We discuss this in detail in the chapter on installation.
2. The tags that the model will look at must be selected and some information about each tag defined. This information will be introducted in the chapter on installation and detailed in the how-to chapter.
3. Historical data must be prepared and uploaded for the tags selected. The model will be learned on the basis of this historical data.
4. The model will be learned and assessed for its quality and suitability. Some fine-tuning of model parameters may be necessary at this point in order to get the model to accurately represent the situation and solve the problem.
5. After the model is suitable, the software can be put into productive use by connecting it to the source of live data and cyclically computing the answer to the posed question.
6. It is at this point that the project of setting up the application is over but the change management task of integrating the solution into the workflow of the organization begins.
