As an outcome from IS&T Leadership Group discussions, a work group has been formed to define for IS&T what a "pilot" (beside the person or computer flying the plane) is and when we should use pilots. The members of the working group are: |
...
* Laxmi Rao - Academic Computing |
...
* Kyle Pope - Client Support Services |
...
* Jonathan Hunt - Client Support Services |
...
* Darlene Fladager - Relationship Managers |
...
Goal
...
h3. Goal Our goal is to put together a definition of a "pilot", collect some best practices around when |
...
to use and what makes a "pilot" successful and test our definition and best practices on a couple |
...
of current pilots. |
...
We will also pull together a simple framework and guidelines for pilot inititaion, control |
...
and closeout We plan work closely with the Project Management Team to leverage existing |
...
materials. |

Potential candidates: |

# Altiris for Remote Disk Management |

technology work?) |
...
# Has a planned closeout (i.e. go, no-go decision point; if it can't be killed/stopped it isn't a pilot) |
...
# Has an exit strategy for go and no-go outcomes. |
...
# Experimental pilots have a discovery focus and |
...
# Evolutionary pilots have a delivery focus and need to build in a plan for potential support and sustainability. |
