Problem

Scenario

You identified a repetitive manual process in your engineering workflow that was slowing delivery and creating avoidable errors. You decided to automate it so the team could move faster and spend less time on operational work.

Question

Describe a time when you successfully automated a manual process. How did you decide what to automate, align stakeholders, manage delivery risk, and measure whether the automation was successful?
