What is a process walkthrough?
Once a PDD has been written, a sample of cases are worked by following the PDD very precisely. This exposes any missing scope, ambiguity, or incorrect flow.
Who participates in a process walkthrough?
Client SME, Blue Prism developer, Blue Prism analyst (optional)
FRQ stands for?
Functional Requirements Questionnaire
Who participates in the FRQ

Who writes the ODI?
Blue Prism developer
Who reads the ODI? Who approves it?
Blue Prism developers read it and it is approved by peer review
