A university admissions system is experiencing issues where students submit multiple applications for the same semester. The system must flag an application as a potential duplicate if it has the same Student ID, the same Semester, and either the same Major OR the same Application Date.
When configuring the Search duplicate cases step, how should the Business Architect define the conditions?
Show answer details
Correct answer: B
Pega duplicate case detection uses 'basic' (must-match) conditions and 'weighted' conditions. Student ID and Semester MUST match, so they are basic conditions. Major and Application Date are 'either/or', so they should be weighted conditions. Assigning them each a weight of 50 and setting the threshold to 50 ensures that if EITHER one matches, the threshold is met and the case is flagged as a duplicate.

A 'Purchase Order' (PO) case creates multiple 'Item' child cases. The PO case must not proceed to the 'Payment' stage until all 'Item' child cases have reached a status of 'Resolved-Completed'.
During testing, the PO case immediately advances to the 'Payment' stage without waiting for the child cases to finish. What is the most likely cause of this issue?
Show answer details
Correct answer: B
To pause a parent case until child cases complete, the Wait step must be configured as a Case Dependency and placed within the parent case's lifecycle. If the parent case is not pausing, it is either missing the Wait step or the Wait step is misconfigured (e.g., placed in the wrong case type or waiting on the wrong status).

A business requirement states that users must be able to update their contact information at any point during a 'Customer Onboarding' case, but they should only be able to upload a signed non-disclosure agreement (NDA) during the 'Contracting' stage.
Which TWO configurations should the Business Architect implement to meet these requirements? (Select TWO)
Show answer details
Correct answer: B, C
Because updating contact information must be available at any point during the entire case, it should be configured as a case-wide optional action. Because uploading the NDA is only relevant during a specific stage, it should be configured as a stage-only optional action within the 'Contracting' stage.

In Pega Platform, which entity is used to represent an individual user who logs into the system to process work?
Show answer details
Correct answer: B
An Operator (or Operator ID) represents an individual user in Pega. It contains their login credentials, personal information, and links to their access group and organization structure. A Work group is a team of operators, a Persona represents a role/type of user in design, and a Work queue is a shared bucket of work.

A financial institution is embarking on a Pega Platform implementation to modernize its loan origination process. During the Discover phase, the Lead Business Architect schedules sessions with subject matter experts (SMEs). Which approach best aligns with the Directly Capture Objectives (DCO) methodology during these sessions?
Show answer details
Correct answer: B
Directly Capture Objectives (DCO) is a core Pega practice where business and IT stakeholders collaborate to model the application directly in Pega (specifically App Studio) rather than relying on static, disconnected documentation. This reduces translation errors, accelerates delivery, and ensures the system immediately reflects the shared understanding. The other options describe traditional Waterfall documentation, disconnected prototyping, or purely technical configuration without business collaboration.

The Pega Express delivery approach organizes a project into four distinct phases to ensure rapid, predictable delivery of a Minimum Lovable Product (MLP). Which TWO of the following are official phases in the Pega Express delivery approach? (Select TWO)
Show answer details
Correct answer: A, D
The four phases of the Pega Express delivery approach are Discover, Prepare, Build, and Adopt. Discover focuses on identifying the microjourneys and defining the MLP. Adopt focuses on organizational change management, training, and measuring outcomes. Design and Test are activities that happen within these phases, but they are not the names of the phases themselves.
