Platform note
Pega
Pega is a platform for case management, rules-driven process automation, and customer or operational workflows. It is commonly encountered in enterprise environments where process control, exception handling, and policy-driven decisions are central to the business.
Pega implementations often become strategic because they capture both formal process flow and the decision rules behind it.
What it was typically used for
Organizations used Pega for service operations, onboarding, regulatory workflows, claims handling, case processing, customer support operations, and decision-heavy processes with a need for routing, auditability, and exception management.
Why it still matters in rescue work
Pega often embeds business logic in rule sets, case types, decision tables, user assignments, and integrations. Rescue work has to separate the business policy from the platform-specific implementation so the logic can be preserved without recreating the whole environment first.
Artifacts to inspect when extracting business logic
- Case types and stages: process structure, lifecycle, and transition rules.
- Rule sets: reusable business logic, validations, and decision behavior.
- Decision tables and trees: branching rules and policy logic.
- Flows and assignments: routing, work queues, handoffs, and escalations.
- UI sections and harnesses: user interactions and screen-level guidance.
- Connectors and data pages: dependencies on external systems and reference data.
