Automation & Processes

Automated Team & Project Composition Management

Automation of the recurring team-composition validation process, reducing individual follow-ups, standardizing changes and keeping the main roster continuously updated.

How the solution was built

From manual checking to a recurring, standardized workflow.

The process was redesigned so each team’s current composition is sent automatically, validated in a structured way and reflected in the main roster without relying on manual follow-ups and adjustments each cycle.

Simplified view of the real process
01 · Current composition

Automated outreach

Each owner receives the current composition of their team at the beginning of the cycle.

02 · Validation

Structured confirmation

The owner validates the composition and only flags cases where a change is needed.

The main gain was moving roster maintenance from an informal, repetitive process into a structured routine.

BEFORE Contact by contact manual, asynchronous validation

Individual messages, waiting for replies, free-text corrections and manual updates person by person.

process standardization
AFTER Single monthly workflow recurring and traceable

Automated outreach, structured validation, centralized rules and final execution directly in the roster.

The process no longer depends on individual conversations to keep moving.

The automation turns team-composition updates into a predictable, standardized routine with far less manual intervention.

The goal was not to automate a single task, but to redesign the entire validation and update cycle.
The problem

A recurring process dependent on individual conversations.

Team composition needed periodic validation, but the process was manual: contact by contact, reply by reply and update by update.

Each owner received the current team composition individually. When changes were needed, corrections arrived as free text and the main roster had to be adjusted manually — including searching for additional information for new joiners.

Before the solution

×Individual contact with each owner.
×Asynchronous replies and free-text corrections.
×Joiners and leavers handled case by case.
×Manual update of the main roster.
The reasoning behind the automation

Automation required redesigning the process — not simply sending messages.

The value of the solution lies in separating communication, validation, rules and execution into clear layers while preserving the roster already used by the team.

01

Make the cycle predictable

Validation becomes recurring, without relying on someone remembering who needs to be contacted each period.

02

Structure changes

Confirmations, joiners and leavers stop arriving as free text and follow defined paths.

03

Centralize rules

Power Automate and Microsoft Lists centralize validations and decisions before final execution.

04

Preserve the operational base

The automation ends in the Excel roster, preserving continuity with the process already adopted by the business area.

What the solution enables

A predictable cycle with less manual intervention.

01

Recurring outreach

The current team composition is automatically sent to the person responsible for validation.

02

Structured changes

Confirmations, joiners and leavers follow defined paths instead of free-form messages.

03

Centralized validation

Rules and references are checked before a change reaches the main roster.

04

Updated roster

Execution ends in the operational roster already used by the business area, preserving continuity.

Impact

The update no longer depends on dozens of manual interactions.

The main gain was turning an informal routine into a structured process.

Instead of validating through individual conversations and handling each change manually, the automation organizes the cycle, routes changes and maintains a single final roster.

Technical backstage

The layers behind the workflow.

The automation gives each tool a clear responsibility without unnecessarily replacing the operational roster already in use.

Power Automate as orchestrator

The flow connects communication, forms, validations and update rules so each action follows a predictable path.

Validation before execution

Microsoft Lists acts as a reference and validation layer, while the final update remains in the Excel roster.
