Organization ROI: Manual processes can be automated, even ones with missing information.
Engineer ROI: Automate everything. Incrementally address inconsistencies. Match your investment to the time savings.
Legacy code often requires manual processes. Building, verification, packaging, and deployment all require manual steps. Make the minimal changes to allow incremental automation for every part of the pipeline.
Habit: Checklist Automation
Habit: Healthy Unit Tests 1 — Readable Tests
Organization ROI: Communication between developers and product owners become easier.

Organization ROI: Tests tell you where you will pay costs on future stories.
Engineer ROI: Refactoring never requires updating tests.
Habit: Healthy Unit Tests 3 — Test Long Methods
Organization ROI: Begin automatically verifying your most important chunks of code. Reduce the cost of future changes.
