What is the purpose of the Solution Design Document (SDD)?

The Solution Design Document (SDD) serves a crucial role in outlining how Blue Prism will automate a specific business process. It is a comprehensive document that provides detailed specifications regarding the technical and functional aspects of the automation. The SDD includes information such as the business requirements, application design flows, architecture, and the necessary technologies needed for implementation.

The purpose of detailing how automation will be achieved is fundamental as it ensures that all stakeholders have a clear understanding of how the automation aligns with business goals. It acts as a blueprint for developers, providing guidance on how to build and configure the automation solution. By describing specific configurations, process flows, and resources, the document facilitates smoother implementation and helps to avoid scope creep during the project.

As for the other options, while detailing the manual process, summarizing project timelines, and defining team roles are important aspects of project management and documentation, they do not encompass the primary objective of the SDD, which is to focus on the automation strategy and design specifics for Blue Prism.
