Plan adoption with accountable owners
The work assignment is to build a realistic adoption plan from selection to operations. Define purpose, owner and permitted operating boundary before the first test.
The domain review baseline covers one prioritised workflow, owner, policy, pilot and measurement. Assumptions and missing information remain visible in the result.
Pilot one bounded workflow
- For the first 30 days, prioritise one workflow and define its goal, owner and usage policy.
- In the next period, run the pilot using approved data and measure impact and review effort.
- By the third period, consolidate results, unresolved problems and responsibility for operations.
- Decide whether to continue, adapt or stop based on the measurements and align further licences with that decision.
Tie rollout and support to evidence
Adoption evidence links the prioritised workflow to a baseline measurement, recorded pilot results and a named operational owner. The next stage is justified against these results.
Avoid: broad licence rollout without workflow evidence. Elapsed calendar days or assigned licences replace neither workflow evidence nor the decision on whether the pilot can be supported.
Decision matrix
| Decision point | Proceed when | Stop when |
|---|---|---|
| Accountability and objective | Documented: one prioritised workflow, owner, policy, pilot and measurement. | Scope, data or accountability remains unresolved. |
| Pilot evidence | Adoption evidence links the prioritised workflow to a baseline measurement, recorded pilot results and a named operational owner. The next stage is justified against these results. | There is only an unevaluated demo without acceptance evidence. |
| Operational handover | Owner, approval, fallback and next review date are defined. | Avoid: broad licence rollout without workflow evidence. Elapsed calendar days or assigned licences replace neither workflow evidence nor the decision on whether the pilot can be supported. |
