[All CTFL_Syll2018 Questions]

What one of the following would be a typical objective of running a pilot project when introducing a new tool into an organisation?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

After completing the tool selection and a successful proof-of-concept, introducing the selected tool into an organization generally starts with a pilot project, which has the following objectives12:

Gaining in-depth knowledge about the tool, understanding both its strengths and weaknesses

Evaluating how the tool fits with existing processes and practices, and determining what would need to change

Assessing whether the benefits will be achieved at reasonable cost

Identifying and resolving any technical and organizational issues before deploying the tool on a larger scale

Providing training, coaching, and mentoring for users of the tool

Defining metrics to measure the success of the tool deployment

Therefore, the option D is the most typical objective of running a pilot project, as it is essential to ensure the compatibility and suitability of the tool with the current way of working, and to identify any potential risks or challenges that may arise from the tool introduction12.

The other options are not typical objectives of running a pilot project, because they are either part of the tool selection process, or the outcomes of the pilot project. They are:

To establish whether the tool is available for a free trial period (and for how long) (A).This is part of the tool selection process, which involves gathering information about the tool features, costs, support, and availability12.This should be done before running a pilot project, as it helps to narrow down the list of potential tools and to conduct a proof-of-concept12.

To provide training, coaching, and mentoring for users of the tool (B).This is an outcome of the pilot project, which aims to increase the competence and confidence of the tool users and to facilitate the tool adoption12.This should be done during and after the pilot project, as it helps to ensure the effective and efficient use of the tool and to address any issues or feedback from the users12.

To develop a clear set of requirements and objective criteria against which the tool can be evaluated .This is also part of the tool selection process, which involves defining the tool requirements based on the needs and expectations of the stakeholders, and establishing the evaluation criteria based on the benefits and risks of the tool12.This should also be done before running a pilot project, as it helps to compare and rank the potential tools and to select the most suitable one12.

Ah, the age-old debate: requirements vs. process impact. I say we go with option D and then use that information to inform our requirements in option C. Gotta be thorough, my friends!

You know, I was thinking the same thing as Genevive. Clear requirements and evaluation criteria are key. But I also see the value in option D - understanding the impact on existing processes is crucial. Maybe we need a hybrid approach, you know?

I'm leaning towards option C, to develop a clear set of requirements and objective criteria against which the tool can be evaluated. That way, we have a solid framework to assess the tool's capabilities and whether it meets our needs. Plus, it's always good to have a plan, you know?

Haha, a free trial period? That's what I call a 'pilot project' on a budget! But in all seriousness, I agree with Julie - option D is the way to go. Gotta make sure the tool aligns with our current workflows, or else it's a no-go.

Hmm, I'm not sure. I was thinking option B, to provide training, coaching, and mentoring for users of the tool, might be the best objective. Getting users comfortable with the new tool is just as important as evaluating its fit, don't you think?

I feel this question is quite relevant to assessing our understanding of the objectives behind running a pilot project. As for the answer, I would go with option D. Evaluating how the tool fits with existing processes and practices, and determining what would need to change, is a crucial objective of a pilot project.
