How to Scale a Proof of Concept

Not all experiments, even if successful, are ready to scale or should be scaled. Managing the expectations of stakeholders will really help you set them up for understanding that a proof of concept doesn't always have engineering infrastructure and support functionality required to scale it straight away. And they can often be quite a lengthy process of actually productionizing these ideas. The other thing to think about when you're doing these projects is to make sure that you avoid zombie projects. So zombie projects are those projects that just keep continuing to run and they consume resources and don't really add value.
