Which of the following is a key consideration in selecting the pilot group?

• A. Advice of the steering committee
• B. Representativeness of a cross-section of the user community
• C. Readiness for the technology
• D. Age

Answer: (A)

Guidance from the steering committee helps ensure the pilot includes the right stakeholders and aligns with organizational priorities. The steering committee consists of leaders and sponsors who understand what the organization needs, what risks are acceptable, and what resources are available. Their advice helps identify which groups and roles must be involved so the pilot tests the critical processes and yields decisions that the organization can support and implement. This governance input makes the pilot meaningful and sets up a clear path for moving from testing to full rollout.

Representativeness and readiness matter, but they’re better addressed within the framework the steering committee provides. Age isn’t a meaningful driver of pilot success; governance and stakeholder involvement matter more for ensuring the pilot addresses real needs and can be scaled.
