Step 1: Identify a process in any organization or company related to normal operations. An example of this is a payroll process.

Step 2: Deconstruct the process from Step 1 to make a BPMN diagram using a tool of your choice. At this stage, keep the process relatively simple. Start with something easy.

Step 3: Identify at least three (3) steps/activities in the BPMN diagram that may benefit from automation. As an example, you have a manual payroll process. Now you want to have automatic deposits. This would require automation in the Cloud.

Step 4: Work on an A3 report that includes the BPMN diagram of the normal operation (current condition) and the BPMN diagram of the proposed automation process (desired condition). The A3 Report should answer the following questions:

1. What is the current condition or state?
2. Why is this step being conducted?
3. What is the background of the problem?
4. What is the root cause of the problem?
5. Why is automation needed for the normal process?
6. What is our desired condition?
7. What problem does it solve?
8. What are the risk and mitigations?

Step 5: Include supporting documentation, inclusive of:

1. Narrative describing the steps you took to create the BPM diagram.
2. Indicate which activities/process in your diagram are being targeted for automation and why.
