What it can do

  • Supports organisation-scale or unattended operation.
  • Can reduce repetitive coordination and manual administration once the process is well understood.

Limitations

  • Enterprise-scale automation needs monitoring, ownership and exception handling.

Prerequisites

  • Named owner, tested process, appropriate access and cost controls.

Notes

Advanced generic capability; keep detailed governance in this section rather than beginner pages.

Watch-outs for Advanced: govern & scale

  • Keep detailed governance here rather than repeating it on every beginner capability.
  • Track ownership, access, cost, lifecycle and exceptions once services are shared or business-critical.
  • AI Redlines remain separate from normal governance and should be treated as hard boundaries.
