As a Product Manager & Business Systems Analyst on the Intelligent Process Automation team at WPS, my responsibilities really boiled down to two things: save the company money and create a better experience for our customers, both internal and external.While I often fulfilled those duties by analyzing complex processes and translating those into requirements so that our team of developers can automate them, I also functioned as the company's Product Manager for UiPath. More broadly speaking, I ran the company's UiPath Citizen Developer program. Our UiPath Citizen Developer program trained non-technical employees to identify and automate tasks in their own workflows, using the UiPath software suite. I took over the program one month into my tenure at WPS. My successes included:-Prior to me taking over the UiPath Citizen Developer program, only one production automation had been produced over a period of one year. In my first four months, eleven automations were moved to production.-To increase engagement in the program, I developed and executed a communication and training plan that included: *Personal outreach meetings to discuss an individual program member’s goals, ideas, and training needs.*Articles about the program, written for our intranet. *The creation of training videos and written documentation.*The creation of a Teams chat bot for answering basic Citizen Developer questions.*Multiple events, including an Idea-O-Thon and Bot-O-Thon.*Group training sessions.-Completion of two of my own production automations that are used by my fellow BSA’s on our team.
