Scenario

U+ Comms, a leading telecommunications company, has decided to utilize Pega Customer Decision Hub to improve its customer experience and provide better service. The company offers a broad range of products to prepaid and postpaid customers. U+ Comms uses its website and sends outbound communications through SMS and email channels to market its products to subscribers.

The team has started the kick-off meetings and is eager to start implementation. As the Decision Architect, you are responsible for configuring the development environment and preparing the environment for change management.

A typical 1:1 Customer Engagement project involves five environments:

  1. An orchestrator to manage and automate the deployment process of artifacts to the candidate environments.
  2. A development environment (system of record) to develop enterprise features.
  3. A staging environment to test changes and assess their business and technical impact.
  4. A business operations environment (BOE) to perform business changes.
  5. A production environment to serve real customers with the latest and greatest artifacts.

However, this assignment provides only two environments:

  • Development system that serves as the system of record, production, and orchestrator
  • Business operations environment in which you initiate business changes.

Initiate both environments by using the following challenges:

Initialize the Development environment.

Initialize the Business Operations environment.

Caution: The environments are deleted after three days of no usage.

You must initiate your own Pega instance to complete this Challenge.

Initialization may take up to 5 minutes so please be patient.
