Choose the right perspective

Look for candidates who held budget or planning responsibility during an automation project. Ask them to walk through a specific year when they had to choose between funding options or revise spending mid-project. Avoid generic answers; push for the actual numbers, timing, and trade-offs they faced.

Questions to take into the conversation

  1. 01When a project cost more or took longer than planned, how did you adjust the budget and what got cut or delayed?
  2. 02How did you decide whether to invest in automation versus keeping manual processes running longer?
  3. 03What made you change your forecast, and what data or event forced that decision?
