Enabling historical compliance score data
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.9
Project stakeholders can now track the compliance score for an application over time to better understand and manage ongoing development adherence to Pega 7 Platform guardrails. The compliance score history can be displayed on a line graph on the Compliance Score tab of the Application Guardrails landing page. The data is collected daily and displayed in weekly increments, up to four weeks prior to the current date.
For more information, see Guardrails compliance score, Enabling compliance score history, and Compliance score trend reporting.
Application Sizing Wizard worksheet template now includes business impact
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.9
A column for business impact has been added to the project sizing template used by the Application Sizing Wizard. Project owners can now incorporate this assessment into their project sizing.
New Business impact optimization dashboard
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.9
On the Analysis tab of the Application Profile landing page, you can now enable historical specification count and implementation progress by complexity and business impact. On the Business impact optimization dashboard, you can view counts of specifications by complexity and business impact. You can also view counts, by business objective, of specifications that have been implemented and for those not yet implemented. You can filter specifications by release and iteration.
For more information, see Viewing specifications by complexity, impact, and business objective, and Associating project specifications with business impact and complexity.
Improvements to the Document Application tool
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.1
Application profile documents and application documents generated by the Document Application tool have been improved to present information in a more logical order based on how the application was built (for example, by case life-cycle management). Also, these types of documents now include all specifications linked with an implementation rule, presented in logical order under the implementation rule.
In addition, to help you more efficiently drive decisions by stakeholders, you can specify whether to include related built-on application layer assets in application profile documents and application documents. For specification documents, you can specify whether to include specifications from the built-on application layer.
For more information, see Document Application tool.
Associate specifications on implementation rule forms
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.1
You can now view, add, and delete the specifications that are associated with a rule on the new Specifications tab of most rule forms. The Specifications tab is available for almost all implementation rules, except for administrative and deprecated rule types. By associating specifications with the rules that implement them, you improve the end-to-end traceability of your specifications.
For more information, see Associating specifications on implementation rule forms.
