The toolkit is a collection of components and tools based on <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/rpapnp\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">HEAT<\/a> concepts and built using Power Apps and Power Automate, so you can easily extend and customize the kit to your needs.<\/p>\n<p>The Automation Kit for Power Platform helps you accelerate your organization\u2019s automation CoE. It includes a set of Power Apps applications and Power Automate flows that provide ready-made solutions to manage your automation projects, capture near-real-time value tracking, and gain insights to your automation initiatives. The kit was built based on feedback from customers across the globe using Power Automate as their choice of hyperautomation and RPA platform.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Case study: Cineplex accelerates establishing their Automation Center of Excellence with Automation Kit<\/h2>\n<p>Cineplex Inc. is a leading media and entertainment company that welcomes millions of guests through its 170+ cinemas and entertainment venues.<\/p>\n<p>Bo Wang, Vice President of Taxation &amp; Treasury, started using Power Automate desktop flows back in September 2020 to automate business processes within his team. After realizing the benefits in process efficiencies and time savings, he decided to set up the Automation Center of Excellence so that he could further scale the use of Power Automate across the entire organization. To do so, Bo and his team adopted the Automation Kit to manage and have visibility across the automation development lifecycle. The Automation Kit helped Cineplex:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Accelerate the development of their Automation Center of Excellence<\/li>\n<li>Centrally manage the automation lifecycle from ideation to production<\/li>\n<li>Get insights for both leadership and operations team about return on investment (ROI) in automation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What&#8217;s included in the Automation Kit?<\/h2>\n<h3>Automation Project Management<\/h3>\n<p>Use this app to manage the automation initiatives in your organization and define the metrics to calculate ROI.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9037\" height=\"791\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/AutomationKit-AutomationProjects.png\" width=\"1502\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/AutomationKit-AutomationProjects.webp 1502w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/AutomationKit-AutomationProjects-300x158.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/AutomationKit-AutomationProjects-1024x539.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/AutomationKit-AutomationProjects-768x404.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1502px) 100vw, 1502px\" \/><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>Projects are managed in the Automation Center<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Solution Metering<\/h3>\n<p>The kit offers capabilities to link Automation Project definitions with their Power Automate cloud flows, desktop flows and other artifacts in order to automatically capture and calculate the contributions of an automation.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9038\" height=\"790\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/AutomationKit-SolutionMeterings.png\" width=\"1504\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/AutomationKit-SolutionMeterings.webp 1504w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/AutomationKit-SolutionMeterings-300x158.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/AutomationKit-SolutionMeterings-1024x538.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/AutomationKit-SolutionMeterings-768x403.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1504px) 100vw, 1504px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>Artifacts are attached to solution metering for automatic metric captures<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Automation CoE Dashboard<\/h3>\n<p>The dashboard provides a holistic view of your automation projects, ROI, and goals.
