Pilot projects are relevant wheneve a full product release is approaching.

Stages prior to pilot projects:

  1. First prototype. Proof of concept. Pre-alpha release.
  2. Second, third,... prototypes - provide improvements. Still pre-alpha.
  3. Alpha release - suitable for early adopters and hackers. Not necessarily feature complete.
  4. Beta release - suitable for external testing on real customers. Product is feature complete but has known bugs.
  5. Release candidate - only tightly-scoped bug fixes are allowed.
  6. Pilot project - any phase from Alpha to Release Candidate are possible for pilot projects - but the further along a project is, the higher the chance of success.
