Certified Pega Business Architect (CPBA) v7.3 — Question 9

An application allows consultants to enter their hours on a project on a weekly basis. Consultant hours must be approved by both their manager and the project supervisor. The approvals can be performed in any order.
How do you configure the approvals in the application?

Answer options

• A. Add the manager approval to an alternate stage in the case life cycle.
• B. Configure a parallel process for each of the required approvals.
• C. Add an optional process to each approval in the appropriate stage.
• D. Configure a single cascading approval based on an authority matrix.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because a single cascading approval based on an authority matrix allows for the necessary flexibility and structure to ensure that both the manager and the project supervisor can approve in any order. Options A and C do not provide the necessary parallel processing, while option B suggests a separate process that could complicate the workflow unnecessarily.
