After the Solution Design Document (SDD), which document follows in the lifecycle?

The Process Design Instruction (PDI) is the document that follows the Solution Design Document (SDD) in the lifecycle of a Blue Prism project. The PDI is crucial as it provides a detailed outline of how a specific process will be automated, including the steps, business rules, and exceptions that need to be considered during the implementation phase. This document serves as a bridge between high-level design and the actual development of the automation solution.

The PDI is instrumental in guiding developers on how to translate the conceptual design outlined in the SDD into a functional automation solution. It includes specifics on process interactions, data requirements, and error handling, ensuring that the resulting automation aligns closely with the initial vision while respecting the business specifications laid out in the earlier documentation.
