Risk Assessment
Risk cannot be avoided, but it can be mitigated.
How to do a FMEA
Act:
Revise or
Implement the plan.
Plan: How is
the solution to
be tested?
Pilot Test
Small scale testing of part or whole solution to see
whether it can be implemented on a large scale and
whether there will be unexpected effects, costs,
unforeseen problems
Why Pilot?
Further improvement
Validate assumptions
Risk identification
Validate solution
Reduce risks
Refine cost/benefit

Practice first before implementing
When to Pilot?
Large implementation
Complex implementation
More stakeholder
