The team evaluates each opportunity based on factors such as feasibility, impact, and return on investment. This evaluation ensures that the automation solutions recommended align with the organization's goals and objectives.

The outputs of the RAA include a detailed report and a roadmap for automation implementation. The report provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of the organization's processes, highlighting areas for improvement and automation. It also includes a cost-benefit analysis, outlining the potential savings and benefits that can be achieved through automation.

It includes a timeline for implementation, resource requirements, and estimated costs. This roadmap serves as a guide for the organization to effectively plan and execute their automation initiatives.
