Lessons Learnt
Considerations and lessons learnt from our implementation
Time Commitment from Business: We
aren’t the experts, we need the business to
guide the way.
Sop’s, WebEx recording with narration,
OPL’s, etc.: These materials will drastically
speed up the documentation portion of this
process
Test data: Understand what good test data is
to test the automation, this step can be a
timely hang up when not thought about a head
of time
Access: What access and roles are needed to
perform this task?
Open to change: Willingness to “tweak” a
process can in some cases greatly increase the
automation factor
Understand business rules: Are there hard
business rules surrounding this process?
Are systems changing: Are any of the
systems the automation will be touching
changing within the year?
