  text: 'Developing Robotic Process Automation bots involves a wide range of skill
    sets. Besides insights from business process management, software development
    knowledge like systems interaction and network knowledge is required. For a well
    functioning process automation these different skill sets must be combined. In
    a design science research study, concepts from business process management, software
    development, and best practices are combined to design an actionable development
    method for RPA. The resulting PM2RPA method structures the development process
    in four stages: pre-Development, design, development and operations. Within these
    four stages, 14 activities support product owners, developers, and process experts
    over the course of the development process. The PM2RPA Method is demonstrated
    in an environment characterized by frequently changing business processes and
    heavy resource restrictions due to a lack of skilled workers. The PM2RPA method
    allows process-driven development while focusing on systems integration and reporting,
    resulting in a structured and comprehensive method for developing RPA bots. Practitioners
    can use this method to manage their automation projects. At the same time, researchers
    benefit from a baseline method aiming to address methodological research challenges
    and early insights into wider operational strategies for RPA.'
