How to Build a Power Automate Opportunity Map

Why this matters

Technology projects create value when they are tied to a clear user need, reliable information, appropriate controls and an operating model that continues after launch. This guide is written as a practical starting point for a discovery conversation.

Use the questions below to expose assumptions early and to decide whether the opportunity is ready for a prototype, needs foundational work, or should be deprioritised.

Practical checklist

1. Observe volume, delay and rework
2. Separate rules from judgement
3. Record exceptions before designing
4. Estimate value and support burden together
5. Prioritise the smallest reliable end-to-end workflow

What to do next

Document the current process, name the owner, define the desired outcome and gather representative examples. That evidence gives business and technical teams a much better starting point than a product demonstration alone.
