Notes on the Core Roles and Responsibilities of a UiPath Automation Implementation Team

This lesson focuses on the typical roles of a UiPath Center of Excellence (CoE) implementation team, breaking down each role’s core positioning, stages of involvement and key tasks, and clarifying how the roles collaborate across the whole project flow.

---

I. Project Manager

Core positioning

The commander-in-chief of the project, involved throughout the whole flow, coordinating the implementation team and the client team to ensure delivery on plan.

Stages of involvement

✅ Involved in all stages, especially as a core role at Kickoff and Project Closure

Key tasks

1. Overall implementation management: coordinate teamwork, manage blockers/risks/changes, and handle escalations
2. Documentation and communication: create and maintain project documents (such as the Statement of Work, SOW), organize meetings and take minutes, and make sure all parties follow the documents
3. Resources and schedule: assess client readiness, assign people, track milestones, report status, and forecast finances
4. Closing actions: obtain document approvals and signatures, and execute the project close-out process

II. Business Analyst (BA)

Core positioning

The bridge between business and technology, deeply understanding the processes to be automated and connecting requirements with delivery.

Stages of involvement

✅ Business Case and Technical Validation, Process Analysis, Solution Design, User Acceptance Testing (UAT), Project Closure
✅ Of these, Business Case and Technical Validation, Process Analysis and UAT are the core stages

Key tasks

1. Requirements and business validation: map the current state of the process, assess the potential of the business case, and create high-level requirements documents
2. Process and document outputs: write the Process Definition Document (PDD), design the work breakdown for the “future process”, and update the business case
3. UAT and change management: set up the UAT plan and success criteria, verify whether the automation output meets the requirements, and manage change requests and update the PDD
4. Review and wrap-up: take part in the project retrospective analysis (for multi-legal-entity projects)

III. Solution Architect (SA)

Core positioning

The chief architect of the technology, leading the architecture design of the automation solution and guiding the development team.

Stages of involvement

✅ Involved in all stages, especially as a core role at Kickoff, Solution Design, and Deployment and Hypercare

Key tasks

1. Architecture and design: define the automation solution architecture, recommend tools/features/programming approaches, and write the Solution Design Document (SDD)
2. Testing and quality: draft the technical testing plan (together with the developers), perform code reviews, and ensure technical best practices are followed
3. Licensing and optimization: initial license estimation and updates, and overseeing component design and implementation

---

IV. Automation Developer

Core positioning

The builder of the automation, constructing standard-compliant automation flows based on the design documents.

Stages of involvement

✅ Development and Testing, UAT, Deployment and Hypercare, Project Closure
✅ Of these, Development and Testing, and Deployment and Hypercare are the core stages

Key tasks

1. Development and testing: build automations following the SDD and best practices, execute the technical testing plan, and run unit/integration tests
2. Maintenance and support: adjust to changes during the development/testing/Hypercare stages, log and fix defects, and create the Runbook
3. Knowledge transfer: pass knowledge on to the client team and ensure a smooth transition after project closure
4. Documentation collaboration: help review the SDD/PDD and maintain the code repository

---

V. Infrastructure Engineer

Core positioning

The infrastructure guardian of the platform, responsible for deploying and integrating the UiPath platform’s infrastructure.

Stages of involvement

✅ Kickoff, Deployment and Hypercare

Key tasks

1. Requirements and analysis: review project/hardware/software requirements and analyze the client’s existing infrastructure
2. Deployment and maintenance: design and deploy the UiPath infrastructure and applications, and assist with maintenance and upgrades
3. External collaboration: work with the client’s infrastructure team to complete platform integration (external projects)

📊 Comparison Table of Core Roles and Their Stages of Involvement

Role	Core stages of involvement	Involved in all stages
Project Manager	Kickoff, Project Closure	✅ Yes
Business Analyst	Business Case and Technical Validation, Process Analysis, UAT	❌ No
Solution Architect	Kickoff, Solution Design, Deployment and Hypercare	✅ Yes
Automation Developer	Development and Testing, Deployment and Hypercare	❌ No
Infrastructure Engineer	Kickoff, Deployment and Hypercare	❌ No

💡 Key Collaboration Logic

• The Project Manager acts as the hub, connecting all roles with the client team
• The BA connects business requirements with technical design, the SA owns the technical architecture, the developers implement it, and the infrastructure engineer keeps the platform stable
• Each role focuses on its core tasks at different stages and passes information through documents (PDD/SDD/Runbook), keeping the process traceable
