A financial services firm is automating a trade reconciliation process. The process runs daily and involves comparing data from three different systems. The development team has used the REFramework. During UAT, a specific type of business exception, which was not documented, is discovered. This exception requires a compliance officer to manually verify the trade before it can be processed. How should the Business Analyst address this finding in the Process Design Document (PDD)?
A business analyst is evaluating processes for an automation pipeline in a large retail company. Two candidate processes have been identified: 1. **Process A**: Daily sales report generation. High volume (500 reports/day), fully rule-based, uses stable web applications. Estimated automation effort: 40 hours. Estimated annual savings: $50,000. 2. **Process B**: Competitor price analysis. Medium volume (50 reports/day), involves scraping data from various websites with changing layouts, requires some human judgment for ambiguous product matches. Estimated automation effort: 120 hours. Estimated annual savings: $90,000. Using the standard criteria of automation potential and ease of implementation, which process should be prioritized for the initial pilot phase and why?
A Business Analyst is creating a PDD for a process that handles customer orders. The process involves reading an email, extracting an attached PDF invoice, entering data into a desktop application, and then archiving the email. To ensure the developers have a clear, step-by-step visual guide, which elements are most crucial to include in the As-Is process documentation? (Select THREE)
True or False: During the 'Business Case and Technical Validation' phase of the UiPath Implementation Methodology, the Business Analyst's primary responsibility is to create the detailed, keystroke-level Process Design Document (PDD).
A Business Analyst is defining the To-Be process for an HR onboarding workflow. The current process requires the HR administrator to manually check a shared mailbox, download a 'New Hire' form, and then enter the same data into three separate systems: Workday, the Active Directory, and a legacy payroll application. The BA has proposed a new design where a robot monitors the mailbox and uses data from the form to update all three systems. Which value metric is most directly and significantly improved by this To-Be process design?
During a process discovery workshop for a logistics company, a BA determines that the freight audit process is performed differently by three team members, even though they follow the same general procedure. To create a standardized As-Is process model for the PDD, what is the most effective first step for the BA to take?
A business analyst is completing a business case for an automation project that is projected to save 4,000 manual hours per year. The fully loaded cost of an employee is $80,000 per year, assuming a 2,000-hour work year. The estimated one-time development cost is $60,000, and the annual software licensing and maintenance cost is $20,000. What is the Net Benefit in the first year of operation?
Which UiPath tool is designed specifically to help a Business Analyst manage the automation pipeline, assess process suitability, and track the business value of automation initiatives from idea to production?
**Case Study:** A mid-sized insurance company, 'SecureSure Inc.', wants to automate its 'Claims First Notice of Loss (FNOL)' process. The current process is entirely manual and is a significant bottleneck, impacting customer satisfaction. **Current Process:** An agent receives a call from a claimant and manually enters the information into a legacy, terminal-based system. They then compose and send a confirmation email to the claimant, attaching a PDF of the initial claim form. Finally, they update a master Excel spreadsheet used for daily reporting. The process takes 15 minutes per claim, and the department handles approximately 100 claims per day. Errors in data entry into the terminal system are common, leading to an average of 10% of claims requiring rework, which takes an additional 20 minutes each. **Requirements:** The Head of Claims Processing has sponsored the automation initiative. The key objectives are: 1) Reduce the average handling time per claim, 2) Eliminate data entry errors, and 3) Provide real-time visibility into the daily claim volume without waiting for the end-of-day report. The solution must be implemented within three months. **Constraints:** The terminal-based system is critical and cannot be modified or replaced in the short term. The company has an enterprise license for UiPath Studio, Robots, and Orchestrator. As the Business Analyst, which To-Be solution design best addresses all the stated requirements and constraints?
A business analyst is defining the reporting strategy for an automated invoicing process. The business owner needs to know the number of invoices processed successfully, the number that resulted in a business exception, and the number that failed due to application errors, all updated daily. Which combination of UiPath platform features is best suited to meet this requirement?
