+The Recurring Task Automation project automates the creation of recurring tasks in ServiceNow based on a predefined schedule or trigger. This ensures routine operational tasks, maintenance jobs, or checks are executed consistently without manual intervention.
+
+Unlike OOB scheduled jobs for individual tasks, this solution is dynamic, flexible, and configurable per task type.
