Map how work actually happens with UiPath Cartographer
UiPath Cartographer turns scattered process knowledge into the Map of Work, the definition your documents and automations come from.

What is UiPath Cartographer?
UiPath Cartographer turns scattered process knowledge into the Map of Work—a versioned, readable definition of how your business runs.
See how the work actually runs
A structured account of the objects, rules, exceptions, and judgment behind a process, rather than prose buried in a document.
Work from one approved definition
One definition the whole organization works from. Every change is owned, versioned, and traceable, so what was decided and who signed off stays answerable.
Keep the record true over time
Runtime decisions feed back into the Map of Work, and every process mapped seeds the next, so understanding compounds instead of going stale.

How a scattered set of procedures and recordings becomes one approved definition of the work.
Discovery and process design are often more difficult than implementation
Teams spend weeks interviewing and writing documentation before anything ships, and you often cannot say how work needs to transform until a first attempt exposes the gaps.
Reach the build sooner
Discovery becomes a guided conversation instead of weeks of interviews, so projects reach the build sooner and the backlog stops growing.
Capture knowledge before it walks out
The exceptions, the workarounds, and the reasons a process works the way it does get written down and owned, rather than carried in a few people's heads.
Keep one definition everyone trusts
One governed definition with a named owner, full version history, and a record of real decisions, so what is true and who approved it stays answerable.
Hand off without losing the detail
The design documents and the build are generated from the same definition, so developers and coding agents stop re-specifying edge cases by hand.
Map the work, then reimagine and modernize it.
The Map of Work is a living, readable, versioned definition of how a process runs, held in Open Knowledge Format (OKF) and owned by your organization.
Governed like any other first-class artifact
Permissions on publish, plain-language diffs between versions, rollback, a named owner and approver, and provenance on every statement.
See every system the work touches
The applications involved and the data objects the process creates, reads, and changes.
Hold the rules in one place
The business rules and compliance obligations the process has to follow.
Account for the exceptions
The paths the work takes when something does not go the usual way.
Write down the judgment
The reasoning behind decisions, including the calls experienced people rarely record.
Tie it to what you measure
The outcomes and key performance indicators the process is measured on.
Discover, map, generate, and stay in sync
Discovery runs as a guided conversation
Drop in the procedures, recordings, and policies you already have. UiPath Cartographer reconciles them, flags where they disagree, and asks only what it cannot work out.
The current and future state take shape
UiPath Cartographer names the business objects, captures the rules and exceptions, and builds the Map of Work. You review and approve every fact before anything moves downstream.

The documents are generated, not written
Exporting a mapped process produces the process design document (PDD) for sign-off and the solution design document (SDD) for the builder. Change the Map of Work and regenerate.
The Map of Work stays true as the work runs
The Decision Ledger records the decisions people make at runtime and feeds that judgment back, so an exception approval becomes part of the next revision.

What UiPath Cartographer does for your role
Discovery is not a solo job. Here is where each role picks it up.
BUSINESS ANALYSTS
Stop writing from a blank page
UiPath Cartographer asks the missing questions and drafts the Map of Work. You review, approve, and design how a process should look like instead of authoring documents by hand, and the deliverables you used to write are generated automatically.
BUSINESS PROCESS OWNERS
Hold an accurate picture of the process
A faithful, living definition of how your process actually runs, including the judgment your team applies, kept in step with the system that runs it.
DEVELOPERS AND BUILDERS
Build from a definition solid enough to act on
Coding agents and Maestro build from the same Map of Work the business approved, so the handoff carries less ambiguity and fewer edge cases get re-specified by hand.
Continue exploring the platform
UiPath Cartographer defines the work. These are the products that build it, run it, and assist alongside it.
ORCHESTRATION
UiPath Maestro
Runs the processes UiPath Cartographer defines, coordinating agents, robots, and people across long-running work.
Maestro artifacts are generated from the same Map of Work, so what runs matches what the business approved.
BUILD
UiPath Studio
Where developers and coding agents turn an approved Map of Work into working automations, without re-specifying the edge cases by hand.
The generated solution design document is the input, so the build starts from what the business already signed off.
ASSISTANCE
UiPath Delegate
The general-purpose assistant UiPath Cartographer is built on, sharing the same identity, audit, and control plane.
Route a question to the person who knows the answer and it opens in their own Delegate with the context already there.
CODE-FIRST
UiPath for Coding Agents
Point a coding agent at an approved Map of Work and it generates the working artifacts, including the Case Plan that Maestro runs.
Common questions about UiPath Cartographer
UiPath Cartographer turns scattered process knowledge into one governed Map of Work: a sourced, versioned definition of how a process runs today and how it should run next. From that Map, Cartographer generates the PDD and build-ready SDD that coding agents use to implement the solution on UiPath Maestro.
No. Process mining is a complementary approach. UiPath Process Mining shows what happened in your event logs. UiPath Cartographer captures the intent, rules, exceptions, and human judgment behind the work and produces a definition you can build and audit from. Use Process Mining for visibility and Cartographer for defining what a process should look like.
No. The process design document and solution design document are outputs of the Map of Work, never the source of truth. Because both are generated from one definition, they cannot drift apart. Change a business rule in the Map of Work and regenerate, rather than editing two documents by hand.
No. It changes what the job involves. Analysts become the cartographers who own and maintain the Map of Work. UiPath Cartographer runs the discovery conversation and drafts the structure, but it assists and never approves. Every decision about what is true stays with a person.
The Map of Work is a first-class governed artifact. It carries permissions on publish, plain-language diffs between versions, rollback, a named owner and a named approver, and role-based access control. Every statement keeps its provenance, so where a rule came from and who signed off is always answerable.
