Analysis & Designing

Analysis
 Done by group of business users & business architects.
 Dive into business requirements
 what & why & where need to be done
Designing

which contains
 Process involved
 Wireframes
 Integration
 Business team designs should be reusable & convert in

Modelling

 The high level business process model & wireframes designed by business architect are
converted into executable construct by IT team by defining..

 Data Elements

 Executable Flow diagrams

 UI forms

 Reports

 Build an application to run in real-time

 PRPC Confidential 4

Execution

 Testing an application to check how the application

works

 IT & BA & Testing teams comes into picture

 Make sure that process is error-free

 End-to-end result is delivered??

 PRPC Confidential 4

Monitoring

 After the application is deployed

 Monitor the application to check

 Performance
 Is UI designed as needed
 Is implemented as per requirement
 Is it working as expected

Optimization

 Do the changes as per the business users

requirement by

 Analyze the gaps encountered

 Checking the feasibility

 It should not affect the actual process

 Business users identifies changes required to do

improve performance or in terms of reusability

Traditional Application Development

 Focus on creating individual business

applications

 Individual applications must be integrated

with each other

 Each application has its own requirements,

analytics, business policies, tools, and
repositories

 Sharing and reusing application

components is difficult
 PRPC Confidential 4

Pega Unified Application Development

 Functionality is configured using a

consistent set of components

 Components are defined and stored

together

 One System of Record

 Common set of tools

 Model-based application design &

development approach

 Sharing and reusing application

components is Easier
 PRPC Confidential 4

Model-based Application Design

 Ensures visibility among all team members

to an overall application

 No coding is required

 Team members can also identify potential

gaps

 As a result, updating processes, user

interfaces, and other business rules is
easier
