Certified Pega System Architect v8.7 — Question 8

To process an employee retirement package, the system requires approvals from the supervising manager, the benefits manager, and the HR director.
How do you implement the requirements so that each approver can work independently?

Answer options

• A. Route the assignment to a work queue to which all three roles have access.
• B. Create business logic to route the assignment to the different approvers.
• C. Create three parallel processes with approval steps.
• D. Create an approval step with cascading approval.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as a cascading approval process allows each approver to independently review and approve the retirement package, ensuring that their approvals are handled sequentially when needed. Options A and C do not guarantee independent approvals; A involves shared access which may lead to conflicts, and C creates parallel processes that could complicate the workflow. Option B suggests routing logic but lacks specificity on the independence of approvals.
