Taking on too much strategic work too early runs a high risk that the organization doesn\u2019t see any business value for a long time. As a result, developers will most likely get completely stuck in shaping a complex platform without understanding its use case.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, try to break down larger strategic initiatives into component parts, starting with the most urgent or important projects first. Here\u2019s one way to approach it:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Start with Pilot Project: The goal of this project is to define and validate both architecture and stack. Very often, this pilot project is set up as a proof-of-concept (PoC). However, it is important to go-live with that pilot to really learn about all aspects of the workflow solution throughout the full software development life cycle (SDLC).<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Accelerate to a Lighthouse Project: Soon after running a successful pilot, you should tackle a lighthouse project. This project should have a broader, but still realistic scope which can be better leveraged to show off architecture, tooling, and value of workflow automation to other people and teams within your organization.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Progress to Broad-Scale Transformation: Leverage the lessons learned from the lighthouse project, empowering the people on that project team to run a Center of Excellence (CoE) to break down silos across teams and drive organization-wide change.\u00a0 <a style=\"color: #ff0000 !important;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?rct=j&amp;sa=t&amp;url=https:\/\/sdtimes.com\/softwaredev\/3-common-process-automation-mistakes-and-how-to-fix-them\/&amp;ct=ga&amp;cd=CAEYByoTMjY2MTYyMDQ5MTM1MzE0Mzk5NDIaNGFjOTI3ZjdkYTNiM2I1YTpjb206ZW46VVM&amp;usg=AFQjCNE48eSf0qk5IAQJhDFBy1dXFdjNMQ\">Read On:<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While there\u2019s nothing wrong with being strategic, thinking on too large of a scale is a common pitfall of overly ambitious automation projects.
