Weekly Update - Week of March 15
Hello Pega Community,
We’re now into week 3 of the Pega Community Hackathon and our team wanted to extend a big thank you to the 360 of you who have registered to participate so far!
A quick reminder that if you have a team that is working on a Hackathon submission, all members of your team must be registered on Devpost in order for you to be eligible to compete for one of the 8 Hackathon prizes that will be awarded by our judges.
Now let’s go to our weekly announcements:
Pega Express Month - Build Week
March 15-April 5 is Build Week of Pega Express Month! This phase is where the sprints kick in and you start configuring and testing your user stories. This is often everyone's favorite phase as you begin to generate real energy and momentum.
Join Pega's Ralph Booth (Pega Express Director) and Dion Lammers (Methodology Director) for the next few weeks on Pega Collaboration Center to have your Build Week questions answered. We also have a new post from Keith Buehlman (Agile Business Coach) on the Pega Community Blog with expert tips on leveraging Scrum to maximum effect with the Pega Express approach.
TechTalk Video Series
Our latest episode for Hackathon participants is now available! “Discovery is the Key to Prepare” breaks down how you can leverage outputs from the Discovery phase of the Pega Express methodology to quickly define and build a product backlog of implementable user stories that tie back to achievable business outcomes.
Don’t forget that you can access all TechTalks in the Pega Express Month series by visiting the Pega Express homepage.
Office Hours
Every Wednesday until April 7 we’re giving you 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.
