Automation fits repeatable work

High-frequency workflows such as onboarding, software provisioning, and access changes are good automation candidates when the inputs are consistent and the rules are clear.

Documentation fits judgment-heavy work

Rare, high-stakes, or ambiguous workflows often need a clear checklist before they need code. Documentation can become training, handoff material, and audit support.

Start with structure

The useful question is not whether automation is impressive. It is whether the workflow has stable inputs, clear ownership, and enough repetition to justify the maintenance cost.
