# Optional activity

The following activity may support you in developing your trial proposal:

## **Activity A: Prioritising your trial objectives**

There may be many objectives you can identify within your trial. However, you need to prioritise these within the context of the trial and the timeframe given to showcase success. This activity will help you to ensure what you are testing is feasible and useful to the development of your solution.  It will help you focus on what’s important and what you as an organisation don’t already know, but also reflecting on what would be useful for the project partners to know.

List the trial objectives that you have identified, use the framework supplied above to:

1. Choose your own parameters​ (we have gone with what we currently lack in evidence and what would be important for organisation​.)
2. Discuss with colleagues or partners what should go where in the quadrant ​ ​
3. Decide if those in the top right quadrant are the ones that you want to take forward for the trial.​

Consideration: More practical considerations should be made around the amount of time available to trial, and also the infrastructure that will be available to you in the programme.
