Which approach does Pega Platform utilize for ensuring visibility across an application design?

The Pega Platform employs a model-based application approach, which is central to its ability to ensure visibility across an application design. This approach allows developers to create applications using visual models rather than relying heavily on traditional coding. By representing processes, rules, and data in a model format, Pega promotes a clear and understandable structure for application development.

In a model-based environment, all stakeholders, including business users and developers, can easily understand and engage with the project. This transparency fosters collaboration and ensures that all parts of the application are aligned with business goals and user needs. The visual models enable quick identification of dependencies and facilitate easier updates and changes in response to evolving requirements.

In contrast, linear coding techniques rely on a sequential approach to application development, which may limit visibility into the overall design and relationships among different components. The waterfall model is also sequential and can be rigid, making it harder to adapt once the project is underway. While agile methods promote iterative development and flexibility, they do not inherently provide the level of visualization and modeling that Pega's approach offers. Therefore, the model-based application approach is the most effective for ensuring ongoing visibility in application design within the Pega Platform.
