Definition of proof of concept

A short and/or incomplete realization of a certain method or idea to demonstrate its feasibility
In software development "proof of concept" (often abbreviated to PoC?) is often incorrectly used interchangeably with "proof of technology" (PoT?) or "pilot project". The three terms refer to processes with different objectives and different participant roles and are therefor not synonymous. A proof of concept is a partial solution to a business problem intended to prove the viability of the business concept. A proof of concept may involve a small number of users acting in a business (non-IT) role using the system to establish that it satisfies some aspect of the requirements for the complete solution. The proof of concept implementation will not affect business operational data although it may integrate with existing business systems to some extent.
