Automation Business Analysis - Concepts and Principles

UiPath connects business analysis with identifying and defining automation opportunities. Elicitation and stakeholder work lead into scope, specifications and the process definition document. The sequence helps learners compare whether a process is understood well enough for automation, rather than treating every repetitive activity as a suitable automation candidate.

What you will learn

• Identify and scope an automation need.
• Develop requirements specifications for a process.
• Explain the role of a process definition document.

Who this suits

Beginners; UiPath lists no specific prerequisite. Work experience may be beneficial but is unnecessary.

Before you enroll

Use a fictional business case for practice. Compare the evidence behind a proposed change with its assumptions, and check how you would evaluate the result before recommending implementation.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Provider access terms can change; review them before paying.

Put it into practice

Document a fictional repetitive process and its exceptions. Explain which missing requirement would make an automation proposal unreliable.
