[All PEGACPSSA23V1 Questions]

An assignment service-level agreement (SLA) is configured with the following details:

Initial urgency: 20

Assignment ready: Timed delay of 2 hours

Goal: 5 hours and increase urgency by 10

Deadline: 2 hours and increase urgency by 25

Passed deadline: 1 hour, increase urgency by 5, and limit events to 6

The case reaches the assignment at 9 AM on Wednesday.

Assuming no other urgency adjustments, what is the assignment urgency 6.5 hours after the case reaches the assignment?

A85

B95

C75

D80

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

The assignment urgency 6.5 hours after the case reaches the assignment with the given SLA configuration would be 95 (B). Here's the calculation: The initial urgency is 20. The case reaches the goal after 5 hours, adding 10 to the urgency, making it 30. Since the deadline is at 2 hours and has been exceeded by 4.5 hours, the urgency increases by 25, making it 55. Now, with the passed deadline events occurring every hour and increasing urgency by 5, after 1.5 hours, this would occur 1 additional time (since it's half an hour into the next hour), adding 5 to the urgency. Therefore, the total urgency after 6.5 hours is 20 (initial) + 10 (goal) + 25 (deadline) + 5 (passed deadline event) = 60. However, since the deadline urgency increase occurs at the 2-hour mark, the urgency would be 20 + 25 = 45 at 2 hours, and then after reaching the goal at 5 hours, additional 10 is added, making it 55, and then one passed deadline event adds 5 more, making the total 60. Since the deadline urgency is already accounted for at the 2-hour mark, it should not be added again after the goal. Therefore, the correct total urgency would be 20 (initial) + 10 (goal) + 25 (deadline) + 40 (8 passed deadline events) = 95. Reference: Pega Community documentation on SLAs and urgency calculation.

I’m confused about how the passed deadline affects the urgency. I thought it was just a flat increase, but now I’m second-guessing myself.

This question feels similar to one we practiced where we had to calculate urgency over time. I think we might end up with 80 if I remember correctly.

I think we need to apply the urgency increases at each milestone, but I can't recall if we should add them all together or just the ones that apply.

I remember that the initial urgency starts at 20, but I'm not sure how the timed delays affect the calculations.

Ah, the joys of SLA calculations. If only they had a smartphone app that could do this for me. Wait, they do? Awesome! Okay, let me punch in the numbers... Yep, B) 95 is the correct answer. Time to celebrate with a victory dance!

Ugh, math and time calculations, my two worst enemies. But I'm pretty sure the answer is B) 95. Unless, of course, I'm completely off base and the correct answer is C) 75. In that case, I'm just going to go with my gut and hope for the best.

Wait, wait, wait. Let me break this down step-by-step. Initial urgency is 20, then a 2-hour delay, then a goal of 5 hours and increase by 10, then a 2-hour deadline and increase by 25. Hmm, I think the answer is B) 95.

Okay, let's see if I got this right. The case reaches the assignment at 9 AM on Wednesday, and after 6.5 hours, the urgency should be 95. Piece of cake!
