Where to start
If you're new to AI governance, it can feel overwhelming — there are dozens of frameworks, acronyms, and compliance requirements. AIPMO breaks it all down from a project manager's perspective so you can focus on what matters for your work.
Step 1: Understand the landscape. Browse our framework guides to get oriented. If you're in the U.S., start with the NIST AI RMF overview. If you work with European markets, the EU AI Act guide is your starting point. These articles explain what each framework requires in plain language — no legal background needed.
Step 2: See what governance documents look like. Download one of our static templates, like the AI Impact Assessment. This gives you a feel for how AIPMO structures governance — the sections, the thinking behind them, and what a finished deliverable looks like. These templates are yours to keep, adapt, and use in your projects.
Step 3: Ask the Advisor a question. Explore the Advisor feature on the menu bar. Ask it something specific to your situation — "What governance documents do I need for an internal AI chatbot?" or "How does NIST AI RMF apply to a small company?" The Advisor gives you tailored guidance grounded in real frameworks. Note: Essential membership includes limited Advisor access. If you find yourself relying on it regularly, that's a good sign you're ready to upgrade.
