Automation is the cornerstone of any good development pipeline. It allows you to manage away repeated tasks that don't drive innovation or create value. Allowing you to create workflows that remove obstacles from your way and save time.

Automation also finds a key position in your organization when dealing with tasks that can not afford to be affected by the human element.
