Why is it important to have experiments and pilots in a project?+

According to the Project Management Institute (PMI), organizations embracing project management practices report higher success rates in achieving objectives and delivering value to stakeholders. In the context of global food security challenges, the CoRoSect project aims to develop innovative solutions through insect farming, leveraging research, automation, and robotic technologies. Additionally, in the pursuit of sustainable solutions, CoRoSect is a great example of how pilots play pivotal roles in achieving project goals and addressing critical issues.

Significance of Experiments in Project Management

Experiments or proof of concepts hold immense value in project management. In the case of CoRoSect, experiments involve testing specific ideas on a smaller scale before full implementation. The experiments allow project managers to assess feasibility, effectiveness, and potential challenges in a controlled environment. By “testing the waters”, several benefits emerge, including risk reduction, improved project planning, and the validation of data. Addressing potential risks early allows for proactive mitigation, ensuring smoother real-world implementation. Additionally, stakeholder engagement through feedback and insights ensures alignment with end-users’ preferences and needs.

Piloting for Real-World Validation

Piloting activities are structured and controlled initiatives aimed at validating a project’s feasibility before full-scale execution. In the context of CoRoSect, piloting plays a significant role due to its complexity and far-reaching implications. Pilots offer a unique opportunity to evaluate technical and operational aspects, gather real-world user feedback, and refine project plans based on insights gained. The data collected through pilot projects enables evidence-based decisions, guiding project development for enhanced outcomes.

The Value of Integration

It can be concluded that effective project management is of immense value, whereas experiments and pilots are indispensable tools. Experiments are oriented toward the viability of specific ideas, while pilots validate and refine solutions before full implementation. However, both approaches contribute to risk reduction, stakeholder engagement, and informed decision-making. As demonstrated by CoRoSect, integrating piloting and experimental activities rises the chances of success in delivering innovative and impactful solutions.
