Develop and deploy Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solutions

This standard is about developing and deploying Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solutions.

An RPA (Robotic Process Automation) developer is responsible for designing, testing, and deploying software robots or bots engineered to automate repetitive and rule-bound operations within an organisation. They utilise a suite of RPA tools and cutting-edge technologies to optimise workflows, enhance productivity, and minimise manual involvement in routine activities, thereby improving operational services and efficiency.

This standard is for those who need to develop and deploy Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solutions as part of their duties.

1. Collaborate with RPA architects and stakeholders to define RPA development needs
2. Work with business analysts and stakeholders to scope and document targeted processes for automation
3. Develop RPA plans in line with organisational requirements
4. Select and configure approved RPA tools and technologies for automation projects
5. Design automation workflows and create detailed process maps for specified processes
6. Program and configure software robots using RPA tools to perform automation tasks
7. Employ standard RPA programming languages to script bots' interactions with organisational systems and users
8. Test, debug and resolve issues identified during the testing phase in line with organisational procedures
9. Integrate RPA solutions seamlessly with existing systems and databases
10. Maintain documentation for RPA solutions, including technical specifications and user manuals in line with organisational requirements
