Process Automation Roadmap

Create a process automation roadmap for [Company/Department]. Include: 1) Process inventory — catalog all operational processes, map inputs/outputs, document current manual effort (hours/week), error rates, and compliance impact. 2) Automation opportunity scoring — evaluate each process on automation feasibility (rule-based, data availability, system access), business value (time saved, error reduction, cost savings), and implementation complexity. 3) Technology selection — compare RPA (UiPath, Automation Anywhere), workflow automation (Zapier, Make, Power Automate), custom scripts, AI/ML automation. Match technology to process type. 4) Prioritized roadmap — Quick wins (month 1-2), High-value builds (month 3-6), Strategic automation (month 7-12). 5) Build methodology — for each automation: document as-is process, design to-be process, build and test, parallel run, go-live, monitor. 6) Change management — stakeholder communication, training plan, role evolution (not elimination) messaging. 7) ROI tracking — baseline metrics capture, monthly savings tracking, quality improvement measurement. 8) Governance — automation inventory management, maintenance ownership, version control, exception handling procedures.
