What is one key disadvantage of using the Pilot Running method for change implementation?

The Pilot Running method involves implementing a new system or process in a controlled way, often in a test environment or a limited capacity before a full rollout. A key disadvantage of this approach is that the user experience may be poor during the pilot phase.

This occurs because users may encounter issues with the new system or process that have not yet been resolved. They might also feel discomfort or resistance to changes they are not fully acquainted with, leading to frustration and suboptimal performance. The limited implementation can restrict users from accessing all features or experiencing the full capabilities of the system, which may not reflect the final product's performance or benefits.

In contrast, using a pilot method allows for real-time feedback and adjustments but can also result in a somewhat negative perception of the change initiative if users feel the early version is not fully functional or beneficial. Therefore, while it helps in identifying issues before full implementation, the drawbacks in user experience can be a significant disadvantage of this method.
