- Notes:
- Each chapter is a case study on how automation failed or succeeded in a company
- The book is easy to read- lessons that were learned, automation best practices, important points, etc. are highlighted in big boxes so that you know what to pay attention to
- Personal Rating: 10/10 (must read!) because reading about how other companies succeeded or failed in automation can help us not make the same mistakes!
