RESOURCE REQUESTS GET A TRIAL RUN

Practical evidence will help teams identify where additional people are needed.

Requests for additional delivery capacity will now include a short trial of the work using AI. The trial should establish which tasks can be supported and where a colleague's judgement remains necessary.

A team seeking an additional analyst has welcomed the opportunity to make its case through practical evidence. Its trial plan includes preparing representative work, testing the proposed approach and checking the results against the team's requirements.

The project lead has identified an analyst who could carry out the assessment. As the existing team is fully committed, a request has been submitted for temporary support during the trial.

Temporary support follows the same approval route as other additional capacity. The team has therefore been asked to include evidence that the assessment itself requires an analyst.

The project remains eligible to apply. Its request is being kept open while the supporting trial is arranged.
