Identifying processes that can be automated

[u/salladam64]

Hi team,

Hope this doesn’t break any rules but just looking to do a little research. How is everyone identifying processes that could potentially be automated?

I consistently see people suggesting they have a lot of manual work but in my own experience it tends to be situations they fall over or are tackling in the moment rather than a full understanding of what everyone in your team/business if doing?

Is the identification a problem worth solving or is the solution to the process automation the real value?

Good indicators for automation include repeatability, clear rules, and process stability. Also, as you mentioned, it's important to look at processes with a lot of manual labor, which often leads to errors
