Automate Everything (Stripe Model)
A practice inspired by Stripe's approach to automation, focusing on automating repetitive tasks to enhance team productivity and efficiency.
Origins
Inspired by Stripe's internal practices to automate as much as possible to free up human resources for more strategic tasks.
Developed as a response to the inefficiencies caused by manual, repetitive tasks in fast-growing tech companies.
Adopted by organizations aiming to scale operations without proportionally increasing headcount.
Implementation Details
Key Principles
Stripe's model emphasizes automating any task that is repetitive and does not require human judgment. This includes processes like code deployment, testing, and data entry.
Implementation Strategy
