Automation, as the crystallization of business processes, needs to adapt quickly to a change in said processes.

Impactful Automation’s pillar of Agility encourages developers to work with their users to understand and predict how these processes change over time. In this video, NA Solutions Architect Brad Zellefrow describes how to implement Agility into your automation efforts so that they can react quicker and keep automation sustainable and predictable.

Key Takeaways:

• Discover Bottlenecks
  When automating, sometimes the thing that slows you down is outside of the control of your codebase. It could be manual tasks, over engineered processes, or any number of organizational hurdles. If you can improve the weakest link in the chain, automation does it’s job even better.
• Revamp Processes with Automation
  Existing processes were built for a reason, but once they start becoming automated you might find that some steps become vestigial. On the path to automation, take note of which steps and tasks might be able to be reworked or removed to improve outcomes without introducing errors.
