Governance Plan vs Playbook
A Governance Plan selects applicable work for one system; a Playbook coordinates how a known governance scenario should be executed.
Governance Plan
- Generated dynamically from AI System facts and context.
- Answers: What governance activities apply to this system?
- Example: high-risk EU governance activities are required.
Playbook
- A reusable, predefined sequence of governance work.
- Answers: How should we execute this known scenario?
- Example: EU AI Act—High-Risk AI System coordinates the relevant tasks and handoffs.
Use them together
The plan can identify an applicable scenario and recommend a Playbook. The Playbook then helps the team execute the work; it does not replace the system-specific applicability decision.
