  1. Which process characteristic makes it the STRONGEST candidate for automation?

    Answer: High volume, rule-based, and stable

    High-volume, rule-based, stable processes deliver the best automation ROI with the lowest maintenance risk.

  2. In a RACI matrix for an automation project, what does the 'A' role signify?

    Answer: The person ultimately answerable for the outcome

    Accountable is the single owner who signs off and answers for the deliverable.

  3. A business case shows an automation costs $60,000 and saves $5,000 per month. What is the payback period?

    Answer: 12 months

    $60,000 divided by $5,000 per month equals a 12-month payback period.

  4. Stakeholders keep adding new features mid-project. What is the BEST control mechanism?

    Answer: A formal change control process with impact assessment

    Formal change control evaluates the cost, schedule, and scope impact before approving changes.

  5. What does the critical path in an automation project schedule represent?

    Answer: The longest sequence of dependent tasks determining the minimum project duration

    Any delay on critical path tasks directly delays the project finish date.

  6. Why should a process be optimized BEFORE it is automated?

    Answer: Automating an inefficient process only makes the inefficiency faster

    Streamlining first prevents locking waste and redundant steps into the automated solution.

  7. Which document typically defines the objectives, deliverables, boundaries, and exclusions of an automation project?

    Answer: Scope statement

    The scope statement sets what is in and out of the project, forming the baseline for change control.
