Planning Schedules and the Scope of Prototype and Pilot Projects

Google
There is nothing wrong with being cautious during the process of project planning. Rushing through the procedure exposes an organization to potentially costly mistakes. Large AM/FM projects typically take many years to reach the prototype or pilot stages.

Once a prototype or pilot has been approved, even more time will elapse before full implementation is achieved. Some municipal GIS projects have been underway for over a decade and still have far to go before complete implementation and compilation of a full dataset .

Prototype and pilot projects are kept small, as is indicated in the following table. Remember, prototypes and pilots are intended to demonstrate functions and interfaces. What works best is a carefully selected test area that presents examples of common workflows. Its areal size of is little consequence in most applications.
