Best practice to using components
In the project I'm in, I've been tasked at looking into potentially "componetizing" organizational assets. I've read some PDN material on components, primarily here, but still unsure about its business case.
In the PDN example, it recommends saving the Credit Score calculation as a component so it may be used by 3 applications. It does not explain why this is a better data model to saving Credit Score in either the Organization or Framework layer.
Lastly, info on components seem to have stopped after PRPC 5. It appears to be largely absent from Pega 7 certification material. I was wondering whether the use of components has been deemed less relevant in favor of (as previously suggested) storing assets in the reusable layers of the Situational Layer Cake.
