Pega Partners Program End-of-Year Checklist
As we approach the end of the year, it's time to gear up and finish strong with the Pega Partners Program! We've put together a handy checklist to help you wrap up 2024 on a high note and set yourself up for a successful 2025.
By completing these important actions, you can build momentum and start the new year with confidence. Let's dive into the essential steps you need to take to make the most of this year and get ready for the next.
Action: Register all of your sourced opportunities in My Pega by November 30, 2024.
Why: Your deal registrations count toward our Partner Deal Registration contest and the 2025 Pega Partners Program! Note: Do not submit deal registrations to get credit for co-sell or implementation opportunities. Instead, work directly with your Pega Account Executive.
Action: Earn points in our Partner Constellation Contest by completing the Constellation Adoption Mission, registering your Constellation projects, and submitting your DX components by December 31, 2024.
Why: Earn your spot as THE Pega Constellation leader! What’s more, completing the Constellation Adoption Mission in Pega Academy not only counts toward your progress in the Constellation contest--it moves you forward on your 24.1 currency journey for 2025.
Action: Submit your Business Plan by December 31, 2024.
Why: Ensure you’re included in the initial 2025 Distinction Qualification process. For guidance on the Business Plan process, see the Business Plan Process Guide.
Action: Check that all registered projects are up-to-date in My Pega, including those that had a go-live date in 2024.
Why: Closed, full implementation projects count toward your achievement of specializations in the 2025 program. Partners are required to have two completed projects in the specific product or industry and defined geography to achieve a specialization.
Action: Keep your employee roster current heading into next year, which starts with making sure you have assigned a primary Global Partner Administrator (GPA) to maintain control over your employee access. Once you’ve assigned a GPA, learn more about how to keep your employee roster current, including maintaining a Primary Contact.
Why: Keeping your roster current helps you stay secure, protect your information, and stay in good standing with the Pega Partners Program.
Action: Review your targets for next year in the 2025 Requirement Readiness dashboard in My Pega.
Why: Knowing your targets helps you prepare for the 2025 Practice Health Check, which you can learn more about in the 2025 Program Guide.
Action: Download the 2025 guide to learn about new program benefits, including Pega Blueprint Templates (limited to partners with a distinction) and no-cost Instructor-Led Training (limited to Specialized and Elite partners). Plus, discover existing benefits you might have missed, like an enhanced listing on Partner Finder (limited to Elite partners).
Why: Maximize your ROI with the Pega Partners Program by making sure you’re fully aware of available benefits.
By completing these this list, you'll be ready to seize new opportunities and achieve meaningful growth with Pega in 2025. Let's make the upcoming year our best one yet!
