Building the life-cycle of the RPA implementation project on the UiPath platform

RPA is a computer program that is configured to automate tasks previously performed by humans. The goal is minimizing routine work by attracting virtual employees. UiPath is one of the most popular RPA tools, due to the ability to automate any processes and applications,an intuitive interface that even a business user can easily master. The ideology of RPA implies the existence of a library of possible robot actions - the smallest unbreakable elements of automation in THE RPA, in UiPath’s terminology of activities. The article examines the formation of the lifecycle of the RPA implementation project. The analysis phase selects business processes, which boils down to the creation of a Process Design Document (PDD) process development document. This only one document provides insight into the process needed to develop the RPA solution. The methodology of the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) is used to review the analysis stages, which main purpose is to provide an accessible notation for describing the business processes of all users: from analysts who create process diagrams and developers responsible for the implementation of business process technologies to managers and ordinary users who manage these business processes and monitor their implementation. Based on this document, the solution architect creates a technical project with distribution to different functions and develops indicators for auditing. The technical design result is the first version of the Solution Design Document (SDD). In addition to the SDD document, an assessment of the necessary efforts and a time-review of the developed process are being worked out during the development phase and the recommended basis for automation. At the end of the article, an updated life-cycle model and models of each of the stages are presented, which allow reducing time costs, as well as avoiding options for various kinds of inaccuracies and adjustments.
