Overview
Workflow automation efforts focused on identifying repeatable tasks, clarifying business rules, and turning manual handoffs into reliable process flows.
Operational efficiency
Workflow Automation
Designed automations that reduce repetitive manual steps, improve handoffs, and help teams spend less time chasing routine process work.
Business Problem
Users were spending time on recurring administrative steps that could be standardized, triggered automatically, or routed more consistently.
My Role
I analyzed pain points, documented current-state workflows, defined automation rules, tested edge cases, and created support documentation.

Challenges
- Separating useful automation from automation that would simply move confusion faster.
- Accounting for exceptions and human review points.
- Making automated work visible enough to support after launch.
Solution
Defined repeatable triggers, mapped handoffs, built clear review points, and documented how each automation should behave when information is missing or exceptions occur.
Business Impact
Reduced manual effort, improved operational consistency, shortened routine handoffs, and made recurring work easier to monitor and improve.
Lessons Learned
- Automation should remove friction while preserving accountability.
- The exception path is part of the design, not an afterthought.
- A simple automation with clear ownership is better than a clever one nobody can support.
