Automation planning guide

Turn the repeated handoff into a clear brief.

Use this guide to prepare a first scope. It is a planning aid rather than a customer case study.

Name one task

Describe what staff do today and who needs the result. Keep the first scope focused on a complete task rather than automating several partly understood departments.

Write the trigger and rules

What starts the work? Which fields are required? Who receives it? What should stop it? Resolve ambiguous decisions before treating them as fixed rules.

Define the record and its owner

Identify the authoritative system and what may be changed. Agree on how duplicate or conflicting information is handled.

Include a failed and repeated attempt

A fictional test might accept an invented request, create one assigned task and then receive the same request again. The intended result remains one task. A separate test makes the destination unavailable and checks that staff can see the pending work. This illustrates a test, not a client outcome.

Plan operation

Name who reviews exceptions, approves rule changes and pays vendor subscriptions. Keep the tested rules and recovery steps with the handoff.

Review completed work, corrections and the handling still needed during a limited pilot. See the working process or discuss a repeated task.
