Running effective POCs with business stakeholders
Discussion focused on identifying strong business use cases for POCs, aligning requirements, managing stakeholder involvement, estimating timelines, setting realistic vendor expectations, and communicating POC success to drive further engagement.
Questions to be discussed:
- How do you identify a strong business use case for a POC and turn it into key requirements that guide the POC, without over-complicating vendor selection?
- What resources can help match a use case’s functional needs with the right product, considering that stakeholder involvement varies by use case?
- How do you estimate the right timeframe for a POC and communicate it effectively while keeping stakeholders and vendors engaged throughout?
- How do you work with vendors to set realistic expectations between the ideal outcome and current capabilities, while defining success and avoiding potential pitfalls?
- How can you communicate POC success and encourage further engagement and onboarding based on its results?
The format:
These are 60-minute panel discussion type events, that allow up to 10 participants to work through a set of questions from the host participant. We curate every panel to ensure the right working group is in place to provide ideas, suggestions and perspectives towards the case.
