Which member of the Client Team approves the PDD?

The Process Owner is the individual on the Client Team who is responsible for the overall business process and has the authority to make decisions regarding it. In the context of process documentation, such as the Process Definition Document (PDD), the Process Owner ensures that the documentation accurately reflects the current processes and meets the business needs. They are typically the person who signs off on this critical document because they have the authority and insight to validate that the process described aligns with the organizational goals and requirements.

While the other roles, such as the Process SME (Subject Matter Expert), Client Project Manager, and UiPath Project Manager, play essential roles in the project—providing expertise, managing timelines, and overseeing project execution—they do not hold the same level of authority to approve changes to the foundational process documentation. The Process Owner's approval is crucial because it guarantees that the automation initiative is aligned with strategic objectives and that all stakeholders agree on the documented process before proceeding further.
