Good Automation is...

Monitored and checked by a human regularly

Tracks data on itself (has analytics)

Has defined performance metrics

Is continually optimized against those metrics

Non-invasive

Non-destructive

Enhances a person's abilities, rather than replaces them

Plan for Automation

Whose work will this replace?

Do they need training to work on new tasks?

Anything requiring integration between two data sources will be automated in the future

Creating API integrations is now as simple as a button click

If a task can be automated (easily), it will be.
