Blue Prism Solution Designer study plan
Blue Prism Solution Designer · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 7 hours per week
Solution Design & Governance and Control
Map each Solution Design sub-topic to a written definition and one real project example from your own experience
Draft a one-page design checklist covering process hierarchy, object layering, and exception strategy
Identify the control and governance artefacts a solution designer must produce before build starts
List every Blue Prism component named in the design domain and state its purpose in one sentence
Your checkpoint
A one-page solution design checklist plus a glossary of at least 20 design and governance terms written in your own words
Solution Design & Process Design
Decompose a sample business process into a page hierarchy with clear single-responsibility pages
Write exception handling rules for business, system, and recoverable exceptions in that hierarchy
Justify where work belongs in a process versus an object and record the decision rationale
Produce a process design document for the sample process covering inputs, outputs, and work queue usage
Your checkpoint
A complete process design document for one end-to-end sample process, including page hierarchy diagram and exception matrix
Process Design & Object Design
Apply object design principles to split application interactions into reusable business objects and pages
Define the input, output, and error contract for every action in one business object
Design work queue schemas with item keys, tags, priorities, and retry handling
Compare spying modes and select the appropriate mode for each UI element type in a written rationale
Your checkpoint
An object interface specification for one business object listing every action, its parameters, and its failure modes
Object Design & Governance and Control
Define a naming and versioning convention for objects, pages, and queue items
Specify how credentials, environment variables, and configuration data are separated from process logic
Draft release and change control steps from development through production deployment
Identify audit, logging, and exception escalation requirements for a governed automation
Your checkpoint
A governance and control standards document covering naming, credential handling, release process, and audit logging
Solution Delivery & Process Design
Build a delivery plan for one automation covering analysis, design, build, test, and deploy stages
Write test scenarios for happy path, business exceptions, and system exceptions
Define entry and exit criteria for each delivery stage
Plan a cutover and hypercare approach including rollback steps
Your checkpoint
A delivery plan with stage gates, test scenario list of at least 15 cases, and a cutover checklist
Solution Delivery & Solution Design
Conduct a design review of your own solution against your week 1 checklist and record gaps
Revise the design to resolve at least five identified gaps
Document non-functional considerations such as performance, scalability, and resilience
Prepare a stakeholder-ready design summary of no more than two pages
Your checkpoint
A revised design package with a review log showing each gap found and how it was closed
Governance and Control & Object Design
Explain how the control room supports scheduling, queue management, and session monitoring
Define operational runbook steps for common failures and queue exceptions
Describe how role-based access and environment separation reduce risk
Identify metrics that demonstrate solution health and process stability
Your checkpoint
An operations runbook covering monitoring, common failure responses, and a metrics dashboard definition
Solution Design & Process Design & Object Design & Solution Delivery & Governance and Control
Consolidate all prior deliverables into a single study portfolio with a table of contents
Answer at least 60 self-written practice questions spanning all five domains and score above 80 percent
Re-teach the three weakest topics from memory in writing without notes
Write a final one-page summary linking each domain to the solution lifecycle
Your checkpoint
A complete study portfolio with practice test score record and a written remediation list for remaining weak areas
Milestones
Week 2: Can explain the difference between process and object responsibilities and produce a page hierarchy for a new scenario without notes
Week 4: Design and governance standards documents are complete and internally consistent, with naming and credential rules applied throughout
Week 6: Design review completed with at least five documented gaps closed and a stakeholder summary ready
Week 8: Practice test score at or above 80 percent across all five domains and portfolio assembled
