What is a pilot poster?

A pilot poster is a preliminary version of a presentation or concept used to test and refine the content and/or design of a product, service, or experience before creating the final version. The goal is to articulate your idea in a way that can both express your vision and get feedback before creating the final poster.

Why use a pilot poster?

A pilot poster is an effective tool for getting early feedback and ensuring that your idea is on the right track. By creating a preliminary version of your poster, you can identify potential issues and make adjustments before investing significant time and resources into the final version.

How to use a pilot poster?

Pilot posters are divided into two sections - concept scoping and milestone scoping.

Concept scoping:

The concept scoping section is where you can plan out the key components of your project, including the objectives, target audience, messaging, and key features. This section is designed to help you think through your idea in a structured way and ensure that you are addressing all of the key elements of the project.

Milestone scoping:

The milestone scoping section is where you can plan out the timeline for your project and identify the key milestones and tasks that need to be completed to bring your idea to life. This section is critical for ensuring that you have a clear plan for execution and that you are able to measure progress along the way.

One of the most important aspects of the milestone scoping section is including the timeline. By including a timeline, you can showcase the depth of the project and help ensure that everyone involved has a clear understanding of the time and resources required to bring the project to life.

Here are the steps to create a pilot poster:

- Start with the concept scoping section and identify the key components of your project. Consider the objectives, target audience, messaging, and key features
- Once you have identified the key components, move to the milestone scoping section and plan out the timeline for your project. Identify the key milestones and tasks that need to be completed to bring your idea to life
- Use the criteria on the right-hand side of the poster to describe specific tasks, who is accountable for them, and how you will ultimately measure success
-Once you have completed the pilot poster, share it with your team or stakeholders and gather feedback. Use the feedback to refine your idea and make adjustments to the poster as needed
- Finally, use the pilot poster as a roadmap for executing your project. The poster can help keep everyone aligned and on track, ensuring that you are able to bring your idea to life successfully
