Weekly Update - Week of March 8
Hello Pega Community,
Welcome to the second week of the Pega Community Hackathon! Our entire team is excited to have you on board to help us crush complexity by creating applications that bridge the gap between business and IT.
Just wanted to send over some fantastic resources that we have made available as you begin the process of building your application for the Pega Community Hackathon.
Pega Express Month - Prepare Week
March 8-15 is Prepare Week of Pega Express Month! The Prepare phase of the Pega Express approach is where the project kicks off, the solution is designed, governance is established, and you start creating a backlog of user stories ready for the upcoming Build phase.
Join Pega's Anthony Kirkham (Pega Express Methodology Lead) and Jason Ferguson (Methodology Director) all week on Pega Collaboration Center to have your Prepare Week questions answered. We also have a new post from Sam Tremlett (Senior Product Architect) on the Pega Community Blog that explains how to leverage Pega Express to build Pega applications in a fast, agile manner.
TechTalk Video Series
Throughout Pega Express Month we're also launching weekly TechTalk videos with Pega experts as they break down how the Pega Express approach can help you rapidly create a compelling submission for the Pega Community Hackathon.
Our latest episode features Pega's Glen Finch (Innovation Director) providing insights into how taking a Design Thinking approach to application development can help you fall in love with the problem and create innovative solutions.
Stay tuned for our next episode "Discovery is the Key to Prepare" when it's released tomorrow at 12 PM ET. You can access all TechTalks in the Pega Express Month series by visiting the Pega Express homepage.
Office Hours
Don't forget that every Wednesday from March 10-April 7 you have the chance to receive assistance on your Pega Community Hackathon applications from Pega experts. We have scheduled these Office Hour sessions to be convenient for most major time zones.
You can register for an Office Hour session here and a calendar invite will be sent to you ahead of the Office Hour that you choose.
