The Machine Learning Pod (MLPod™) Canvas: An End-To-End Methodology to Design, Build, and Deploy ML Applications

A methodology is introduced to assist the development of a product based on the Machine Learning technology. Augmenting the concept of the Business Model Canvas we propose a similar concept, named MLPod™ Canvas, that takes into consideration both technical and business requirements and assists the core product development team to clearly identify the tasks and the requirements for delivering a functional and compliant product. Hints regarding the completion of the canvas are also provided along with explanations about the purpose of each canvas’ individual block.
