Job Scheduling Checklist

When was the last time you looked at your current tech stack to see how your job scheduling tools are holding up? Itโ€™s important to regularly take stock of your automation efforts to ensure theyโ€™re helping your businessโ€”not hurting.

The Job Scheduling Checklist helps you take a careful look at your native schedulers, proprietary automation tools, and homegrown scheduling scripts. With this detailed list of evaluation criteria, youโ€™ll be able to benchmark the functions of your current softwareโ€”and the solutions youโ€™re consideringโ€”to find out whether theyโ€™re creating real value for the business or whether theyโ€™re falling short.

Use the Job Scheduling Checklist to answer the following questions:

  • Can my scheduler scale to meet the growing number of jobs and platforms we use?

  • What job details will I be able to produce if we get audited?

  • Does our job scheduler create a security risk?

  • What kind of notifications do we get when jobs fail?

  • Do we have a disaster recovery plan in place for our scheduled IT processes?
