Robotic Process Automation (RPA), the next level of business process automation, provides adaptive and transformative solutions to replace time consuming, non-value-adding, and repetitive human tasks in a Business Process (BP). It is counterproductive to use existing software processes in RPA projects.

A process template (i.e., software implementation process and metrics to track the project) is yet to be derived for RPA projects. To address this gap Jeeva has derived a novel process called “Raban” and metrics derived to track RPA projects. Scrum was used to formulate the Raban. Moreover, 80 challenges identified and analyzed and grouped into six categories (i.e., lack of agile mindset, inconsistency in story estimation, client management issues, lack of adherence to agile practices, scope change in requirement freeze, and lack of quantitative measurement). Prioritized 15 burning challenges were classified based on significance, and taxonomy was developed. Derived steps to estimate RPA use-cases and a framework to select the right candidate BP for RPA transformation.
