AUTOMATION INVENTORY REVIEW · Workflow idea

Know which automated services are in use—and where.

Gather the names, configured identifiers, and locations of services used across your business processes, then organize the findings in a reviewable inventory. Keep the list restricted to authorized owners, make gaps visible, and have a responsible person confirm each entry before using it to plan changes or discuss access.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

Business processes and service settings the organization is authorized to review

“Prepare a private inventory of configured services and their locations so process owners can verify what is in use.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps operations teams understand which connected services appear in their business processes without opening each one by hand.

  1. Choose the processes in scope

    Select the business processes the organization owns and identify who is authorized to review them.

  2. Gather configured service references

    Collect service names, identifiers, process names, and available locations without copying secrets or credentials.

  3. Organize entries for easy review

    Keep each service reference connected to the process where it appears and flag missing or unclear details.

  4. Verify the inventory with process owners

    Ask responsible owners to confirm that the listed services and locations are current and correctly understood.

  5. Approve any access or process changes

    Require an authorized owner to approve the exact change and audience before access is altered or inventory details are shared.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A searchable inventory of process names, service references, and locations, with uncertain entries ready for owner review.

The handoff

A searchable inventory of process names, service references, and locations, with uncertain entries ready for owner review.

Keep in mind

Service names and configuration details can reveal internal architecture or access patterns. Limit the inventory to authorized staff, avoid copying credentials or private settings, and have process owners confirm the findings before changing access, replacing a service, or sharing the inventory more widely.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define eligible processes and reviewers

List the business processes in scope and the owners permitted to inspect their configuration.

Choose inventory details to retain

Record only the service references and locations needed for maintenance, leaving passwords and private credentials out.

Set access and refresh expectations

Restrict the inventory to responsible staff and decide how often entries should be rechecked.

Assign owners for verification and changes

Name who confirms each entry and who may approve access changes or wider sharing.
