Enterprise pilot mutual action plan template
A mutual action plan keeps a pilot from drifting. It names the decision path, dependencies, owners, and dates before the proof-of-concept begins.
Minimum sections
- Buyer sponsor, vendor owner, technical owner, and day-to-day pilot owner.
- Kickoff, access, configuration, weekly check-in, closeout, and decision dates.
- Security, legal, data, integration, and procurement dependencies.
- Success criteria and evidence required for a paid rollout decision.
- Risks, blockers, and escalation path.
Make the decision explicit
A pilot should lead to a clear decision: paid rollout, expansion, renewal, another evaluation step, or stop. If no decision path exists, the pilot may become unpaid consulting.
Connect pilot work to procurement
Enterprise pilots often fail because security review, legal review, or data access is treated as separate from the pilot. Track those dependencies in the same plan so they do not surprise the team late.
