What is a Process Design Instruction (PDI) intended for?

A Process Design Instruction (PDI) serves as a detailed blueprint for the process. It is a crucial document in the Blue Prism development lifecycle as it provides explicit instructions on how a particular process should be built and automated. The PDI thoroughly details the workflow, including the steps required to complete the task, the system inputs and outputs, and any exceptions that need to be handled. This level of detail ensures that developers understand the intended mechanics of the process, allowing for more efficient and accurate automation.

While user training materials, testing requirements, and project timelines are important aspects of a project, they do not encapsulate the purpose of a PDI, which is specifically designed to guide developers in creating a reliable and effective automated process based on the specified business requirements.
