Scenario

With the prototype for the GoGoRoad application and Assistance Request Case Type complete, stakeholders have requested a revised estimate of the project's size and scope. The estimate is used to confirm staffing models and provide approximate delivery dates for MLP1, MLP2, and beyond.

As a Pega Business Architect, you use the GoGoRoad application prototype along with App Studio's Application profile Estimator tool to determine the total number of hours expected to deliver a production-ready version of MLP1 for the GoGoRoad project.

The following table provides the credentials you need to complete the challenge:
