Success stories: How our customers benefit from Pega Blueprint

One of our customers successfully redesigned a complex workflow in just a few weeks – something that would normally take months. With Pega Blueprint, we quickly gained stakeholder support and accelerated the process. By automating key steps and testing different scenarios, we identified and resolved issues early on. The result? Faster delivery and higher-quality outcomes. Additionally, customers mainly use Pega Blueprint to kick-start new applications or enhance existing ones by evaluating their completeness and effectiveness.

How we use Pega Blueprint internally

At BPM Company, we actively use Pega Blueprint to develop SaaS applications within Pega Launchpad. At the very start of the project, we used Pega Blueprint, and the results were impressive. The tool gave us an instant head start by generating a highly complete prompt, which presented nearly finished workflows. These workflows could be seamlessly imported into Launchpad for further development, allowing us to deliver the first version at least twice as fast as planned. With ongoing and future updates to Pega Blueprint, we expect to speed up this process even further.

The challenges of Pega Blueprint

Inconsistent usage within the team and unclear understanding of its benefits

Not everyone is immediately familiar with or convinced by Pega Blueprint, leading to different approaches in its use.
Solution: We highlighted the benefits to colleagues who were sceptical about the quality of Pega Blueprint’s output. Additionally, we provided guidelines and training to standardize its usage across the team.

The quality of input determines the output

AI-driven suggestions are only as good as the information you provide – commonly known as “garbage in, garbage out”.
Solution: Focus on crafting clear, complete and high quality prompts. This ensures that Pega Blueprint uses the right data and personas in the workflows.

Key consideration when starting with Pega Blueprint

• Use high-quality prompts – Provide clear, complete input to ensure the best possible output.
• Leverage best practices – Utilize templates and standardized methods for consistent workflows across the organization.
• Train users – Ensure everyone knows how to effectively use the tool.
• Collaborate with the client in Pega Blueprint – By involving the business and end users in the process, you quickly gain support – essential for successful transformations.
