The Automation Mind-Set
10. Management by Exception – this is the goal
9. Eliminate Run Books and Manual Procedures – start here
8. More Rules, More Automation – keep fine tuning
7. Build Exception-Based Notification – no time for normal
6. Automate SLAs – tedious and error-prone if manual
5. Put Automation in Your Job Title - this adds legitimacy
4. Empower Your Operators – educate them on the tools
3. Keep It Simple – complex is easier to break
2. Keep an Automation List – identify processes needing attention
1. Train Developers in Automation – developers are key to success
