Pegasystems proposes two methodologies - 1) SmartBPM and 2)PegaScrum In this post, we will look into the SmartBPM methodology and understand the various phases involved, the kind of activities and deliverables in each phase. SmartBPM resembles the agile methodology where we break the requirements into smaller independent deployable modules (which are called as Slivers by Pega) and iterate the elaboration and construction cycle.

Inception Phase Activities: Kick off discussion with key stakeholders and define the scope of work. Understand and Capture the Business Objectives & High level requirements in the Application Profile. Prioritize the requirements based on the business needs and break them into slivers (small functional modules to be delivered in 4-6 weeks of time) High Level requirements would include high level use cases, reporting requirements and upstream/downstream applications that need to be integrated with. Do the project effort sizing using the DCO estimation template that comes within the Application Profile Do the flow and UI drafting within PRPC environment and gain acceptance Align the design and coding standards with the clients corporate standards (if any) Elaboration Phase Activities Accelerate the application profile with the Application Accelerator Elaborate the high level use cases into atomic level use cases Define class structure, rule hierarchy; design DB schema Setup the environment Create test plan and deployment strategy
