Let's answer the question: what is Robotic Process Automation (RPA)? And let's also look at Intelligent Automation.

Definition from Decode the Jargon of Artificial Intelligence:
Software systems that imitate the way people follow business processes and thereby automate these processes. They are faster and more consistent than human operators when performing repetitive, rule-based tasks. They can be:
• Attended RPA (triggered by people),
• Unmanaged RPA (initiated according to programmed rules), or
• Hybrid RPA (a combination).

Modern RPA tools must go beyond task automation and include 'Intelligent Automation' or (IA). This extends RPA functionality by integrating artificial intelligence tools such as machine learning, natural language processing and computer vision.

A while ago I asked project managers on a few forums what material things you need to do your job as a project manager. They responded beautifully. I've collected their answers into a Kit list.
