We explore how a well-executed pilot burn-in phase can significantly mitigate risks and prevent project failures. Through engaging discussions and real-world examples, we highlight the importance of understanding project nuances, the necessity of flushing out potential issues, and the value of a controlled environment for testing. We also share insights on managing client expectations and the complexities involved in large-scale deployments. Join us as we uncover why treating a pilot as a learning opportunity is essential for smooth production and successful project outcomes.
