How to Use ClickUp for AI & GPU Projects

ClickUp can help you organize complex AI and GPU projects, align teams on strategy, and keep execution on track in a single collaborative workspace.

This how-to guide walks you through setting up an AI-focused workspace inspired by the way NVIDIA structures its AI initiatives, so your team can move from ideas to shipped solutions faster.

Step 1: Set Up Your ClickUp Workspace Structure

Start by mirroring how large AI organizations break down their work, from company-wide goals down to daily tasks.

Create a ClickUp Space for AI & GPU Programs

In your workspace, create a dedicated Space that contains all AI and GPU-related work. This helps keep strategic projects, experiments, and partner initiatives in one place.

• Name the Space something like “AI & GPU Programs”.
• Enable tasks, docs, whiteboards, and dashboards.
• Set permissions so core stakeholders have access by default.

Use ClickUp Folders for Major AI Initiatives

Within the Space, create Folders to represent your main program lines, similar to how NVIDIA separates work across industries and product areas.

• One Folder for “AI Platform & Infrastructure”.
• One Folder for “Vertical AI Solutions” (for industry-specific projects).
• One Folder for “Developer & Partner Programs”.

This separation lets you filter, report, and plan at the right level without losing the big picture.

Step 2: Turn AI Strategy into ClickUp Goals

Large AI companies move quickly because their strategy is translated into measurable outcomes. You can do the same with ClickUp Goals.

Define Top-Level ClickUp Goals

Translate your AI strategy into a small set of high-impact Goals.

1. Open the Goals feature in your workspace.
2. Create one Goal per strategic outcome, such as “Launch new GPU-accelerated inference service” or “Reduce training cost per run”.
3. Assign an owner and a due date for each Goal.

Each Goal should map to outcome-based metrics, not just activity. This mirrors how AI leaders focus on tangible impact for users and partners.

Add Goal Targets Linked to ClickUp Tasks

Break each Goal into Targets that can be tracked with real work.

• Set numeric Targets, like “Complete 3 pilot deployments”.
• Use task-based Targets that roll up progress from key tasks and projects.
• Link relevant Lists or Folders so execution automatically updates progress.

By tying tasks directly to Goals, your team can see how daily work contributes to broader AI and GPU outcomes.

Step 3: Build AI Roadmaps with ClickUp Views

A clear roadmap helps teams understand what to build, when, and why. You can create this visibility with flexible views.

Create a ClickUp Timeline for Product Roadmaps

Use a Timeline or Gantt view to visualize your AI roadmap across quarters.

1. In the “AI Platform & Infrastructure” Folder, add a Gantt view.
2. Group tasks by List (for example, “Model Training”, “Inference Optimization”, “Monitoring & Reliability”).
3. Set start and due dates on all major milestones.

This structure lets leaders see how foundational work, like GPU provisioning or model serving, lines up with launch dates and partner commitments.

Use ClickUp Board Views for AI Feature Pipelines

For individual AI products or solutions, a Board view helps you manage feature flow.

• Create statuses such as “Backlog”, “Design”, “Experiment”, “Production Ready”, “Launched”.
• Use custom fields to tag model versions, GPU requirements, or priority.
• Filter boards by owner, vertical, or release window to focus discussions.

Board views make it easy for engineering, product, and go-to-market stakeholders to stay aligned as features move from idea to deployment.

Step 4: Manage AI Experiments in ClickUp Tasks

AI work involves rapid experimentation. You can track experiments like production work so nothing gets lost.

Standardize AI Experiment Templates in ClickUp

Create task templates to make every experiment repeatable.

1. Create a task called “Experiment Template” in the relevant List.
2. Add custom fields such as “Hypothesis”, “Model Type”, “Dataset”, “GPU Type”, and “Success Criteria”.
3. Add checklist items for setup, run, evaluation, and documentation.
4. Save the task as a template and reuse it for every new experiment.

This approach helps teams compare results across experiments and share learnings consistently.

Track Experiment Lifecycles with ClickUp Automations

Automations help keep experiments organized without manual upkeep.

• Auto-assign experiments to the right lead when a task enters “Experiment” status.
• Notify stakeholders in a channel or comment when results are ready.
• Move tasks to “Production Ready” when success criteria fields are met.

With thoughtful automations, AI teams can move quickly while maintaining traceability and governance.

Step 5: Collaborate on AI Docs and Runbooks in ClickUp

Shared documentation is critical for scaling complex GPU and AI systems. Use docs and whiteboards to centralize knowledge.

Create ClickUp Docs for AI Design & Runbooks

Use Docs to capture everything from architecture decisions to on-call procedures.

• Create a Doc for each major system: training pipeline, inference service, data processing.
• Link the Doc to the relevant List so it appears in context.
• Use nested pages to store design history, incident postmortems, and troubleshooting guides.

Rich text, embeds, and comments make it easy for engineers, product managers, and data scientists to converge on a single source of truth.

Use ClickUp Whiteboards for AI Solution Mapping

Whiteboards help teams visualize end-to-end AI solutions much like a system diagram.

1. Create a Whiteboard for each solution or customer use case.
2. Map data sources, models, GPU clusters, and application endpoints.
3. Convert sticky notes into tasks when you identify follow-up work.

Whiteboards keep early-stage thinking and execution tightly connected.

Step 6: Monitor AI Delivery with ClickUp Dashboards

To keep leaders informed, you need real-time visibility into progress, risks, and blockers across AI workstreams.

Build ClickUp Dashboards for AI Program Health

Dashboards pull information from tasks, Goals, and custom fields into a single view.

• Add widgets for task status breakdown by Folder or List.
• Include charts for experiment outcomes, such as pass vs. fail rates.
• Track Goal progress for each AI initiative in a summary widget.

This gives executives and program leaders a quick way to review health across GPU and AI programs without diving into each project.

Highlight AI Risks and Dependencies in ClickUp

Dependencies are common in AI work, from data availability to hardware constraints.

1. Use task relationships to capture upstream and downstream dependencies.
2. Add custom fields for “Risk Level” and “Dependency Type”.
3. Create a Dashboard view that filters for high-risk items or blocked tasks.

By surfacing risks early, teams can adapt plans and avoid last-minute delays in launches or customer pilots.

Step 7: Connect ClickUp with Your AI Toolchain

To fully support AI work, your project environment should sit alongside your engineering and data stack.

Integrate ClickUp with Development and Data Tools

Connect your workspace to repositories, communication tools, and data platforms so context flows automatically.

• Link pull requests and issues to tasks for traceability.
• Use notifications and comments to keep discussions in one place.
• Connect with documentation or knowledge systems you already use.

This reduces context switching and keeps AI teams focused on building and optimizing models.

Use ClickUp AI to Speed Up Workflows

AI capabilities in your workspace can help teams summarize, draft, and refine faster.

• Summarize long docs, experiment reports, or meeting notes.
• Draft initial requirement documents or runbooks for new features.
• Generate checklists for complex workflows like deployment or rollback.

When paired with a strong structure of Goals, tasks, and dashboards, AI-assisted workflows can dramatically accelerate execution.

Next Steps and Additional Resources

Adopting a structured workspace gives your AI and GPU teams a single place to align on priorities, orchestrate experiments, and deliver solutions.

• Review your current AI initiatives and map them into the Space, Folders, and Lists outlined above.
• Set a small number of strategic Goals and link them to active projects.
• Build one Dashboard to monitor delivery across your highest-priority AI program.
