Enhancements to the Direct Capture of Objectives

In Pega 7.2 and Pega Express, enhancements to the Direct Capture of Objectives (DCO) simplify creating and reusing specifications and documenting applications, application profiles, and specifications.

Create specifications in Case Designer
​
In both Pega 7.2 and Pega Express, you can now create and associate specifications with steps and user forms while you are configuring a case in Case Designer. Keeping this information current helps to manage the expectations of stakeholders, minimizes unnecessary work as goals change, and helps to reduce scope and feature creep.

Document your application
​
In Pega 7.2, the user interface for generating application documents, application profile documents, and specification documents has been redesigned. The new Document Application tool replaces the Application Document wizard and provides a streamlined landing page for all document types, including custom templates. After selecting a document type, you can configure the document by using just one or two screens, depending on whether screen captures are required.

In addition, in Pega Express you can now generate an application profile document to share information about your project with stakeholders.
