For the last few decades, the concept of agile development has become a ubiquitous concept among developers from organizations large and small. The idea of shaping the process as you go, as opposed to building up to a grand finale, helps deliver incremental wins that are intended to ultimately drive better results.
With robotic process automation and intelligent process automation, this iterative approach is equally valuable. And like its cousin agile development, it too is a driving force for better business outcomes.
What is Agile Development?
An Iterative Approach to RPA and IPA
With each implementation of process automation, you gain data and insights which can then be applied to more automation initiatives for even more process improvement. So it is not only the acquisition of insights, but the actual application of them. Like agile development, the idea of process automation is built around continual improvement, allowing you to evolve your business processes through incremental automations.
The Whole Lifecycle: A Critical Consideration
This discovery process provides key insights for what to automate and why. Once implemented, you easily track progress, gain new insights, and create more new efficiencies as new information comes to light.
It’s important not to think of RPA and IPA as simply installation of software. But rather, think of the technology as a platform that supports the entire lifecycle of your business process.
Rather than looking to deliver one big reveal behind the curtain, it delivers highly efficient incremental wins, all of which work together to support healthy growth and optimal workflow efficiency.
