A friend and colleague, Matthew Rowan, just published this article: Automate, else Enforce otherwise Path of Least Resistance.
This is well worth a read as far too many companies get burdened with process documentation over actual workable process.

I'm at Octopus Deploy, helping to ship software that helps people ship software. Other interesting places I've been before Octopus include ThoughtWorks, Readify, Zap BI, Realex Payments and TRL.
I'm also a co-founder at Stack Mechanics, one of the organisers of the DDD Brisbane conference and, in my spare time (ha!), I also run my own photography business, Ivory Digital.
I'm a fan of high-quality code, domain-driven design, event-driven architecture, continuous delivery and, most importantly, shipping code that works and that solves people's problems.
I have a number of small open-source creations, including Nimbus, ConfigInjector and NotDeadYet, and am an occasional contributor to several more.
I'm a regular speaker and presenter at conferences and training events. My mother wrote COBOL on punch cards and I've been coding in one form or another since I was five years old.
