Which pieces of information help to assess user readiness for a rollout?

Question

Options

• Anumber of users and years in role
• Buser awareness and time scheduled for training
• Cbudget and testing script
• Dnumber of changes in processes and number of open help desk problems

• A
  3% (1)
• B
  71% (25)
• C
  17% (6)
• D
  9% (3)

Explanation

User awareness tells you whether users understand what's changing and why, while time scheduled for training tells you whether users have been (or will be) adequately prepared before go-live - together, these directly measure readiness to adopt the change.

Why the distractors fail:

• A (number of users, years in role) - headcount and tenure describe the audience size and experience level, not whether they're ready for this specific rollout.
• C (budget, testing script) - these are project planning and QA artifacts, not indicators of how prepared end-users are.
• D (process changes, open help desk problems) - open help desk tickets reflect past issues and process change count reflects scope, neither of which tells you if users are ready to move forward now.

Memory tip: Think "readiness = knowledge + preparation time." Awareness = do they know what's coming? Training time = have they had the chance to learn it? If both are solid, users are ready to roll.
