DCO stands for Direct capture of Objectives. As the name suggests, it is a module in the PRPC to capture business objectives, business requirements, actors and other kind of information that will help in clearly stating the needs of the customer. The reason the module was introduced was to overcome the challenges faced in maintaining multiple versions of documents like the Business requirement documents (BRDs), Functional Requirement documents (FRDs) DCO will avoid the conventional approach of merging different kinds of documents (like the ones mentioned above) and taking the trouble of merging them. I will use screenshots to explain how the module works. Please note it is not a tool and it does not implement the application for you. It is an enabling technology used by IT, Business folks to work collaboratively over the entire lifecycle of the project. Login Page
Once you login, you will see 6 slices Process, Policy Decisions, User Interface, Integration, Monitor Activity, Cases and content Starting DCO: DCO comprises of Application Profile, Enterprise Application Accelerator and Document Wizard.

To walk you through how requirements are captured, I will take a simple scenarioBlog at WordPress.com. The Notepad Theme
Suppose the customer has a requirement to build a college course and enrollment application. Currently everything is done manually, where the professor/tutor will publish the course he/she wants to start on the college noticeboard. The students will have to submit on a piece of paper or a form the courses they want to enroll for a particular season. This new application is expected to smoothen this process to allow better control on the courses, its contents with necessary approvals from the college administration. Necessary logic such as if the number of students enrolled for a particular course is less than 10, the course gets cancelled. A student can choose not more than 3 courses from a particular specialization. A student should have met certain eligibility criteria in order to be chosen for a particular course (say, he should have got atleast B grade in the pre-requisite courses). So the users who would interact with the new system would be 1. Students (who will find the courses available and select the ones they want to enroll) 2. Professor/Tutor (who can create new courses and publish them) .. They can edit the course content 3. School Administration ( Can review the courses published and provide necessary approvals. They can also get a visibility of how many students have enrolled for a particular course) Once a student gets selected for a course, he/she will receive an email confirming of the same. School Administration can generate reports. One such report will list down the final selection of the students and the courses they are assigned to. The above is a simple scenario just to illustrate the module. So lets begin. Getting Started: You can enter Organization name, project name, project led by and give a description about the project
Overview: Indicate whether it is a new application or based on Pega framework.. and list the objectives
