1. Detect the need

The starting point is to identify the right projects, which must combine Quick Wins Process (QWP) and high-value initiatives.

This is born when modeling the process, where it is crucial to visualize the complete need for automation.

...

2. Define the team

In addition to choosing the right projects, you also need to find the right people for the work group.

Some tips to build that team that will successfully address the first processes; Start with no more than three people, Work together in and with the business and Find people who want to solve business problems.

3. Get going

Having chosen the project and the people in charge, it is necessary to define the execution process to shape the solution.

Generate a set of practices used in agile project management that emphasizes daily communication and flexible revaluation of plans that are carried out in short and iterative phases of work.

Becoming an innovative digital company is not something that can be achieved overnight
