Pega Express frequently used terms

The Pega Express delivery approach uses terms to define complex ideas and make them simple.

Here are the most common:

Term Description
Minimum Lovable Product (MLP) An MLP is comprised of one or more Microjourneys providing business outcomes to the client. Each MLP is a building block for organizational solutions and transformation. An MLP is different from a minimum viable product, because a Minimum Lovable Product delivers a solution that is not only viable but desired, and one that provides high value to the client.
Journey A journey is the series of interactions between a customer and an organization that occur as the customer pursues a specific goal (Forrester). A journey represents multiple related business outcomes for the customer interacting with multiple people and channels.
Microjourney™ A Microjourney is a business transaction that results in an intermediate or final outcome. Microjourneys are the life cycles, or units of work, that deliver meaningful results to customers and users. Identifying the stages of a Microjourney provides the team with enough structure to organize and optimize the processes needed to perform the work.
Directly Capture Objectives (DCO) DCO is a discipline (and a way of working) that is used within Pega Express. DCO forms a continuous cycle of collaboration, iteration, and validation between IT and business stakeholders to design and deliver applications quicker.
DevOps DevOps is a set of practices that bridge application development and operational behavior to reduce time to market. It allows application developers and business owners to respond to customer needs quickly, develop a faster feedback cycle, and ultimately achieve business value faster.
