Low- code defined

Low-code application development
The Pega low-code development tools create the code for you.Low-code application development platforms help bridge the gap between business stakeholders and skilled developers, creating a common visual language to collaborate more effectively.

Pega Express methodology
The Pega Express™ methodology is an agile approach that uses design thinking practices to capture the customer journey and quickly deliver a Minimum Loveable Product (MLP) release.The Pega Express methodology breaks the customer journey into smaller pieces called Microjourneys™.

• A Microjourney is a small part of the overall customer journey and focuses on accomplishing a specific goal for the customer.
• Personas determine who interacts with the application, and channels determine how these individuals interact with the application.
• Data is the information that the Microjourney interacts with to accomplish the customer’s goal, and the interface defines where the data comes from or where it is persisted. An application can interact with multiple types of data, and data can employ multiple interfaces.

App Studio

The App Studio overview displays an Application Layers section, which is a visual representation of the rules that make up the application. In Pega Platform, a user environment is also known as a workspace or studio.You can improve productivity by using role-based workspaces.，users see what they need when they need it.

Defining a customer Microjourney

Case life cycle

• A case type is an abstract model of a business transaction. Case types model repeatable business transactions.

• A case is a specific transaction instance.

• Stages represent the case transfer from one caseworker to another or a significant change in the case status. Stages are the first level of organizing your work in a case. Primary stages are stages that lead to the expected outcome. The path a case takes through the case life cycle that does not deviate from the primary stages is referred to as the happy path.When modeling the life cycle of a case, stages represent a transfer of authority or a significant change in the status of a case,alternate stages represent exceptions to the normal course of events and can be sequenced into primary stages.Alternate stages are stages that handle deviations from the happy path.Use Change stage steps to transition the case progression to a specific stage automatically. This type of configuration is most useful for automated transitions to and from alternate stages.
  Stage transitions：When all steps in a primary stage are complete, the case automatically transitions to the next primary stage by default in the stage contextual property panel. When users complete all the processes in one stage, the next stage begins. This option is not available for alternate stages.

• A step is an action or task performed by the system or users.

• A process contains a series of tasks, or steps, that users complete as they work on the case. Each stage can contain one or more processes.
  stage命名是noun，process命名是verb+noun
  Pega Platform supports the case life cycle design modeling technique. Defining stages that reflect business process order leverages case life cycle design.

• The following two methods can configure one stage in the case life cycle to advance to the next:①Add a change stage step ②Configure automatic stage transitioning in the stage contextual property panel.

Multi-step forms

A multi-step form represents a single assignment completed by a single user.You can configure a multi-step form to help users complete complicated tasks.Multi-step forms provide three templates with different navigation styles: horizontal, vertical
