Our organization has completed the first round of functional and technical surveys in order to calculate TIME. Before we do our second round, we would like to vet our survey questions. For those doing TIME, did you use the TIME survey template in LeanIX? If not, how did you determine which questions to ask to gather functional and technical fit? Did you create your own survey questions or did you work with a professional company to determine the survey questions? What other things did you do to gain confidence in the questions and that you were getting true functional and technical fit responses? Thank you for your help!

Storing results in Fact Sheet from a survey

I am creating a survey and based on the response of the survey i have added a calculated field that calculates a score. Based on the score, the code categorizes the score into three levels of High, Medium and Low. I want to store that categorization in an Application Fact Sheet. I added an option field which can take these three values. How can I automatically update this option field from the survey? Is it possible to do so?

Think Pace Layering: To prioritize and balance the stability and innovation within your Enterprise architecture

In recent years, we have produced numerous blog posts, white-papers, and webinars on the topic of typical assessment approaches used with LeanIX: PACE, TIME & 6RWith this new blog series, we want to take you through this subject step-by-step and help you understand and apply these approaches and further complement our documentation. FundamentalsPace layering – a concept that challenges conventional thinking and provides a structured approach to thrive amidst continuous transformation journeys. Pace layering is not just another buzzword, but a fundamental strategy that can allow businesses to prioritize IT investments and resources based on the needs of each layer.Pace Layering methodology is used in LeanIX EAM to classify business capabilities based on strategic value and pace of change. It enables the development of enterprise architecture strategies for each layer to effectively balance stability, agility, and innovation.Pace Layering facilitates informed decision-making during

Data Flow Diagrams

Is there anyone doing Data Flow maps? If so, can you please help me how to get started? I’d like to do simple data flow connecting multiple applications with arrows indicating the data that flow between them, in which direction etc. I tried to read the Data Flow article but it is not very helpful as it simply just assumes that you already have all the relationships maintained and only focuses on how to visualize it. What I am looking for is how to really start from scratch - e.g. imagine I have 2 fresh application fact sheets and I want to add them to Data Flow diagram, then draw an arrow between them and on the arrow then maintain the ‘data flow attributes’ - direction, data content, maybe the method/protocol etc. I did not find easy way how to do it directly in the diagram. Any input / guidance welcome. BTW it is also unclear to me what is the real difference between Free Draw and Data Flow diagram editor - they seem to look exactly the same. Again, the official articles are not very

I have to create a single select (enum) “Protocol” field with values like FTP, HTTP, RMI, etc. Obviously I want to use the same field in many places for instance on both ways of an Interface.Thank youPrzemek

Automated Data Propagation from Parent to Child Business Capabilities

We have a three level Business Capability model in LeanIX. We're interested in automating the process of rolling up maturity ratings from child fact sheets to their parent Business Capability fact sheet. When we update the children, we'd like to have the parent BC automatically inherit an average of the child ratings. Is there a built-in LeanIX feature, automation or API-based solution to achieve this? #BusinessCapabilities #Automation

Best Practice for Synchronizing SaaS Hosting Fields with Application Fact Sheets in LeanIX

Is there a way to synchronize SaaS Hosting (IT Component) fields with their associated application fact sheet fields (e.g. Subscribers, Lifecycle, Tech Fit) when creating it from the catalog in LeanIX? We see the value of having associated Apps/IT Components sheets for SaaS solutions but struggle with getting the ITC data populated. How have you managed this? Has anyone automated the process to ensure that the SaaS IT Component’s fact sheet is populated consistently with the application fact sheet? If so, what are the best practices for connecting the two fact sheets to create some synchronization?
