What's included

Understand the process before connecting the tools.

The final scope names the deliverables, dependencies, and review points before work begins. The work below provides the starting point for that discussion.
  • Process discovery. Document the repeated task, participants, time constraints, and result the business expects.
  • Workflow mapping. Map triggers, inputs, decisions, handoffs, outputs, and the systems involved.
  • Exception analysis. Identify missing data, unusual cases, approval requirements, and situations needing human judgment.
  • Integration assessment. Review supported interfaces, account access, data availability, and the constraints of the relevant tools.
  • Opportunity ranking. Compare candidate workflows by usefulness, frequency, risk, effort, and readiness.
  • Automation design. Define the recommended steps, data mapping, approval points, and failure-handling approach.
  • Operating ownership. Assign monitoring, support, change approval, and recovery responsibilities for the proposed workflow.
  • Implementation brief. Document the scope, acceptance tests, dependencies, and next decisions needed to build the automation.
