Where to start with automation

The best first automation is usually the most repetitive, rules-based task your team does every day. Start there.

Look for the boring work

Boring, repetitive work is often the highest-leverage place to begin: it is predictable, easy to measure, and immediately frees up time.

Measure before you build

Define what success looks like — hours saved, errors reduced — before you automate, so you can prove the value.
