Process Discovery
The systematic identification and documentation of how work is actually performed across people, systems and decisions.
It can reduce manual work and cycle time while improving consistency, but it also concentrates operational risk if controls are weak.
A cross-functional team applies Process Discovery in a production initiative, defines ownership and success criteria, tests representative scenarios, monitors outcomes and records corrective actions before scaling.
Automating a poorly designed process can scale errors. Exceptions, changing systems and unclear accountability require ongoing maintenance and human intervention.
The systematic identification and documentation of how work is actually performed across people, systems and decisions. Implementation requires defined triggers, inputs, rules, system permissions, exception paths, human escalation, audit logs and monitoring. Reliable automation is designed for retries, idempotency and recovery rather than only the happy path.
