# Carry out a staged roll-out

In order to validate the Roll-out model and processes, and to reduce the roll-out risk, it is recommended to **carry out a staged roll-out**. When possible, you should select a pilot site or department and carry out a preliminary roll-out on a limited scale.

Best practices with regards to the selection criteria of the pilot site or department are:

* be representative of the rest of the sites or departments
* be small scale (compared to the size of the final population)
* bnable easy communication and access by the implementation team.

The reasons behind conducting a pilot roll-out may be:

* Assessing the feasibility of large-scale implementation under certain conditions
* Evaluating the impact of a particular roll-out model on project achievement
* Demonstrating that roll-out can be implemented with existing resources
* Develop a site that can serve as future model demonstration site
* Increase stakeholder buy-in
* Promoting consensus by showing how implementation can work
* Lowers risk of failure by limiting resource usage
* Assess true performance in controlled-but-live experiments
* Quickly deliver a version of the solution to a targeted segment of the client population
* Confirm or disprove expected results and relationships
* To test and validate the benefit of the proposed solutions before final roll out
* Validate the resources needed to effectively scale up roll-out
* Identify additional improvements in either the solution or implementation launch itself
* Improve future projections of benefits of full roll-out
* Assessing the feasibility of large-scale implementation under certain conditions.
