New program to expand Pega Blueprint AI success will help close the gap between business intent and execution

Pegasystems Inc. (NASDAQ:PEGA), the enterprise AI software company for mission-critical work, today at PegaWorld® announced the Pega Solution Designer Initiative, establishing a new generation of Solution Designers to overcome the biggest barrier to AI success: the gap between business intent and production-ready execution. Expanding the proven results of Pega's Blueprint Delivered™ methodology, this initiative will scale Pega Blueprint AI^TM-led engagements by equipping Solution Designers with free credential-based training, hands‑on workshops, and a global community to deliver high‑impact outcomes.

Market context: Closing the gap between intent and execution

For years, enterprises have faced a costly gap between business ideas and technical execution, with design thinking, cross‑functional fluency, and production readiness split across disconnected roles, teams, and tools. This has resulted in misaligned expectations, rework, and slower time to value.

As delivery cycles compress and expectations rise, organizations must rethink how work gets done. Technology alone can't close this gap; success requires skilled practitioners who can align stakeholders, guide discovery, translate ambition into outcomes, and turn AI-generated ideas into work teams can confidently build.

Preparing the next generation of enterprise leaders

The Pega Solution Designer Initiative offers a skills‑based program for any skill level, from business leaders and analysts to developers. Solution Designers lead discovery, capture business intent in Pega Blueprint AI (Pega's design agent that transforms operational insights into agentic workflows), and produce build‑ready designs from the first conversation.

With more clarity upstream, Solution Designers pass blueprints to Solution Builders, Pega's developer and architect community working in Pega Infinity Studio^TM, a new intuitive app development environment announced today at PegaWorld that combines AI speed with enterprise class reliability and governance. Organizations can move beyond AI experimentation to sustainable transformation, improving speed and quality while closing the gap between business ambition and working software.

A sustained investment in people – not just technology

This initiative outlines a clear vision for enterprise transformation – where AI amplifies, not replaces, human capabilities – reflected in its three pillars:

Free, progressive credentials via Pega Academy: A skills‑based credentialing model validates proficiency in Pega Blueprint AI, the methodology, and the capabilities needed to guide AI‑driven transformation, replacing role‑based certifications with a framework aligned to project needs and clearer paths for practitioners and organizations.
Blueprint Delivery workshop series: In‑person workshops go beyond technical training to build core capabilities, from facilitation and stakeholder alignment to outcome‑driven execution. Organizations can request onsite workshops to bring needed Blueprint Delivery skills directly to their teams.
A thriving global community: The rapidly growing Pega Blueprint AI and App Design Expert Circle and its thousands of members provide an ongoing network of practitioners sharing knowledge, patterns, and expertise through peer conversations, blogs, videos, and webinars.

Reimaging how business works with AI

Pega Blueprint AI is transforming how enterprise software is designed and delivered, making rapid ideation, real-time collaboration, and AI-powered design core to every engagement. As it evolves, so will the delivery model.

Early Blueprint Delivered adopters show AI delivers the most value when paired with human judgment. Pega's end‑to‑end Blueprint Delivered methodology turns AI‑powered designs into production‑ready applications with proven results for clients including 50% faster discovery and ideation, 80% of projects going live in 90 days or less, and 30% less rework after initial design.

Availability:

Solution Designer enablement will be available for free in Pega Academy with the upcoming launch of Pega Infinity^TM 26. The Pega Solution Designer Initiative will be highlighted today on the main stage at PegaWorld, Pega's annual user conference, held at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
