A good **automation roadmap** doesn't start by automating everything at once — it starts with a simple **starter template**, validated with the team, and expands process by process inside a structured **BPMS**. That's how Jestor recommends starting any implementation.

### How Do You Build an Automation Roadmap Step by Step?

1. Choose the most critical or most manual process to start with.
2. Install a **starter template** close to that process, if one exists, or build it from scratch.
3. Validate that first process with the team before expanding.
4. Prioritize the next process based on time saved and errors avoided.
5. Repeat the validation for each newly automated process.

### Why Is Automating Everything at Once a Mistake in a Roadmap?

Companies that try to automate every process at the same time often stall the operation during the transition, because the team can't validate each change carefully. A gradual roadmap reduces that risk.

### How Does Jestor Support Building This Roadmap?

- A ready-made **starter template** speeds up the roadmap's first process, serving as an editable base.
- The **BPMS** organizes each newly automated process into clear phases, making gradual expansion easier.
- The **no-code** model lets the roadmap move at the team's own pace, with no dependency on a development queue.

| Roadmap phase  | What to do                                    |
| -------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| **Start**      | Starter template on the most critical process |
| **Validation** | Test with the team before expanding           |
| **Expansion**  | New process automated in the BPMS             |

### Frequently Asked Questions

### How Long Does It Take to Build a Complete Automation Roadmap?

It depends on the number of processes, but the recommendation is to move through validated stages, not a single large project.

### Do I Need a Specialist to Build This Roadmap?

Not necessarily — the Jestor team can help with initial setup, but the roadmap can be led by the team itself.

### Does a Starter Template Replace Roadmap Planning?

No, it only speeds up the first step — prioritization planning is still necessary.
