Question
Exercise: Adding New Product - Simulation results don't seem to match
in training "PEGA DECISIONING CONSULTANT (7.21)" for "Assessing the Impact of a New Product Offer" lesson, the Exercise "Adding New Product" seems to produce a different result to what is shown in the video. Some of the instructions are also do not seem correct.
In the actual result, the number of Apple iPhone offered in Sumulation run is more than Baseline and new KPhones offered, so all all delta are green. The videos seems to show less Apple iPhones are offered in Simulation run compared with Baseline - Pls re-verify this.
Can you please verify the this exercise?
After doing the exercise, my VBD looks different to the VBD in solution video.

I just verified the exercise, and it works as shown in the Solution video.
Here's the volume of iPhone in the Baseline.
And, here's the volume in the delta mode when compared to the Simulation.
Can you compare these with your results? If they don't match, you might want to trace back your steps w.r.t. the exercise steps / solution video.

Traced the solution and video twice. My baseline has same results as you shared. Simulation produces over 40000 Apple Phones! May be I need do do it in clean VM, not on top of previous exercises?
Are you logged-in as StrategyDesigner@ProductLaunch? Have you made other changes to the ProductLaunch app apart from the steps mentioned in the exercise system?
You can also try to just clean the datasources before you do the simulation(s). It is possible that you have done multiple simulation runs which just accumulate results, without deleting the intermediate results.

Hi Raghu
Are you referring to the demonstration video or the Solution video?
In general, in Marketing and Decisioning courses, what you see in the demo videos may not match with what is shipped in the exercise system. There will be slight differences so that you are exposed to different scenarios.
For completing the exercises, your point of reference should be the exercise guide and the solution video.
Can you please post your observations once you go back and take a look at the exercise system with this new information.
