Which Pega-defined best practice focuses on product quality improvement?

Leveraging DCO (Directly Capture Objectives) to improve product quality is a best practice defined by Pega, emphasizing a focus on integrating quality measures throughout the development process. This approach allows teams to capture requirements directly in the Pega platform, leading to a clearer understanding of objectives and diminishing ambiguity, which can enhance product quality significantly.

By utilizing DCO tools, teams can align applications more closely to business goals, enabling them to create solutions that meet user needs effectively. This method also fosters collaboration among stakeholders, which can lead to more informed decision-making and higher quality outcomes.

While other best practices, such as iterative testing during development or adhering to Pega guardrails, also contribute to product quality, they do so from different angles. Ensuring that team members are certified does support a knowledgeable project team but does not directly address the methodologies that enhance product quality in the same comprehensive manner as DCO does. Thus, prioritizing DCO facilitates a more structured and quality-focused approach to application development.
