In this chapter we learnt what robotic process automation is and how it can be applied to automate the tedious and repeatable work we do in our jobs every day.
We did a simple (albeit fictional) discovery exercise on how to identify processes suitable for automation. Once we selected the process to automate, we learnt to write a process design document to help shape our thoughts before we start coding it.
Now that we have the process design document done, we are ready to take a look at Blue Prism, the tool that we will be using in this book.
