Scenario

U+ Bank is cross-selling on the web by showing various credit cards to its customers. However, an increase in interest rates has caused an economic slowdown. As a result, the bank decides to announce a festive offer to all customers who are likely to bring in the most revenue to help create demand in the slowing economy. 

U+ Bank introduces a new offer that promises 15 percent cashback to customers with a credit score of over 700. The bank also wants to promote this offer at its best by giving it a business weight of 75 percent.

Note: The value for this business lever is set at this stage for this challenge so that the offer is displayed on the U+ website first. The typical use case for a business lever is if the business wants to make a specific offer a priority.

Use the following credentials to log in to the exercise system:

Role User name Password
Business User BusinessUser rules
Team Lead TeamLead rules
NBA Specialist NBASpecialist rules
Revision Manager RevisionManager rules

Your assignment consists of the following tasks:

Task 1: Create a change request to introduce a new action

As a Business User, submit a change request of the Sales type to create a new festive action that is suitable for customers with a credit score that is greater than 700, with a business weight of 75 percent, and a business value of 35 percent.

Task 2: Prioritize the change request created

As a Team Lead, assign a rank of 1 to the change request that the Business User submits.

Task 3: Complete the action build tasks

As an NBA Specialist, complete the various build tasks to create the action in the change request:

Note: For the click-through URL, replace XXXX with the value that is specific to your exercise environment. You can copy this from the URL that is displayed in your browser.

Task 4: Review engagement policy

As a Business User, review the engagement policy created by the NBA Specialist.

Task 5: Review completed tasks in the build stage

As an NBA Specialist, review all the tasks that are completed in the Build stage.

Task 6: Promote the changes to production

As a Team Lead, promote the change request to the Revision Manager, who deploys the business changes to the production environment.

Note: In a real environment, after the promotion stage, there is also a deployment stage, where the Revision Manager deploys all the promoted changes to production. Because this step is time-consuming, we skip it for the purpose of this exercise.

Task 7: Verify the newly created action in CPV

As an NBA Designer, verify the newly created action in Customer Profile Viewer.

 

You must initiate your own Pega instance to complete this Challenge.

Initialization may take up to 5 minutes so please be patient.
