Which set of users does Google recommend to deploy during the Early Adopters phase of a Google Workspace deployment?

The recommendation to deploy to 10% of users from across all business units during the Early Adopters phase is based on the principles of successful change management and controlled testing. Engaging a small, diverse group of users allows the organization to gather valuable feedback and identify potential issues in a manageable environment before scaling the deployment to the entire organization.

Including users from different business units ensures that the deployment reflects a variety of use cases and perspectives, allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of how Google Workspace can meet diverse needs. This phased approach reduces risk since any issues can be addressed without impacting a larger segment of the workforce.

In contrast, deploying to all employees at once may lead to overwhelming feedback and difficulties in managing the rollout. Limiting deployment to IT staff might miss insights that non-technical users can provide, while focusing solely on the leadership team won't encompass the broader user experience necessary for a successful transition.
