Risks and Mitigation
While transitioning to a new workflow offers clear long-term benefits, it also introduces short-term risks and challenges. The following table outlines key risks associated with the pilot initiative and provides mitigation strategies to address them effectively.
| ⚠️ Risk | 🔍 Description | ✅ Mitigation Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Resistance to Change | Team members may be hesitant to move away from familiar habits and tools. | - Select open-minded and adaptable team members for the pilot - Communicate the purpose and benefits clearly - Provide training and support during transition |
| Initial Productivity Drop | Learning new tools or adapting to new workflows may temporarily reduce development speed. | - Choose a small, low-pressure project for the pilot - Plan extra buffer time for onboarding and process alignment - Encourage learning over rushing deadlines |
| Incomplete Adoption | Some team members might partially follow the workflow or fall back to old habits. | - Assign a strong project lead to monitor and enforce standards - Hold regular check-ins to guide and realign - Use shared documentation and visible workflows (e.g., Notion, Gitea) |
| Tooling or Integration Issues | New tools may not integrate smoothly or lack certain features. | - Start with tools that are widely used and have community support - Keep backup methods (e.g., Google Docs, Trello) in case of tool failure - Evaluate tools during the pilot and adjust based on feedback |
| Misalignment with Core Production Needs | The new workflow may not immediately apply to casino-style projects. | - Design the pilot with broader genre goals in mind - Document what works vs. what needs adaptation - Apply successful parts of the workflow incrementally to future casino games |
| Leadership Bottleneck | If the pilot lead lacks authority or time, progress may stall. | - Choose a leader with decision-making power and experience - Clearly define their role and allocate dedicated time to the project - Provide escalation support from management if blockers arise |
With careful planning, strong leadership, and incremental rollout, these risks can be mitigated to ensure the success of the pilot project—and ultimately, the broader workflow transformation.
