Task-driven processes
But what does it mean for the way we work in the future, with Appian driving the process and assigning tasks to people to get input? In short, it means: "No task, no work!" This is a bold statement and probably only valid for a typical business process automation use case. But this is a huge change in how an organization or department perceives itself.
Also, this does not make any person redundant but relieves them from boring manual work and allows concentration to be focused on more complex tasks and decisions.
This organizational change must be discussed with all business stakeholders! It is part of your project by nature, whether you like it or not. Ignoring it is a threat to your project's success.
