Modelling Processes using Capabilities

Hello everyone,I have a question about the practical use of Business Capabilities from LeanIX within the context of process modeling in Signavio. My understanding is that Business Capabilities represent the “What” an organization needs to achieve its strategic goals—essentially, the abilities required. Processes, on the other hand, describe the “How” and provide a concrete sequence of activities to implement these capabilities.I’m uncertain about where and how Capabilities can be effectively utilized within a Signavio process model. If a process explains how a Capability is carried out, what added value does integrating the Capability into the process model bring? Should Capabilities be added as a reference to clarify the strategic alignment, or are there other best practices for using Capabilities in process modeling?I would appreciate any recommendations or insights on how others are handling the connection between LeanIX Capabilities and Signavio processes, as well as the benefits t

General Risk Management

Hello!New to EA and LeanIX. I’m looking for thoughts around performing general risk management (associated with EA) within LeanIX.Risk management typically involves listing specific risks, with description, likelihood, and impact score attributes, and calculates risk scores based off of them.As far as I can tell, LeanIX (even with the Risk and Compliance module) allows us to store aggregated obsolescence specific risk via the lifecycle attribute but it doesn’t provide this general risk management capability.I’ve found a documentation example which seems to use tags to augment fact sheets with additional sunset status/risk, but that’s not quite what I had in mind. I’ve also found this example where custom fact sheet attributes are created and populated with similar fields (but not as a separate risk object):https://docs-eam.leanix.net/reference/calculate-risk-scores-based-survey-responsesHas anyone created custom objects and custom relationships to implement this sort of risk register f

alignement de vocabulaire et metamodel

Bonjour la communauté !!En discutant avec nos Staff+ Engineers et en lisant plusieurs articles dans la presse, je vois arriver un alignement de vocabulaire autour de Systems, containers, composants.C’est par exemple illustré dans cet article :https://nikolaschou.medium.com/a-new-software-architecture-metamodel-inspired-by-c4-agile-and-togaf-b3f21ab9848Et également décrit dans le C4 Model : https://c4model.com/abstractions Avez-vous aligné votre metamodel vers ces notions, si oui comment, et sinon pourquoi ? @LeanIX Team : cette nomenclature étant de plus en plus utilisée par les staff+, notamment dans un contexte d’organisation produit et d’agilité, comment prenez-vous en compte cela ? Allez-vous vers une modification du metamodel. ?merci d’avance pour vos retours !!

User Grourp - Organisation

Hello la communauté, Actuellement, nous utilisons la même factsheet “UserGroup” (on est encore en meta model V3), pour référencer l’organisation de l’entreprise et les rôles métiers de nos users, grâce à des subtypes : Je souhaiterais connaître vos pratiques. Avez-vous :comme nous, mutualisé ces éléments dans un même type de factsheet (et joué avec les Subtypes) créé 2 factsheet complètement distinctes : l’une pour l’organisation, l’autre pour les rôles métiersSachant que le méta-model V4 semble aller sur une mutualisation : qu’est ce qui vous a poussé à aller dans un sens ou dans l’autre ? Merci pour vos lumières !! LeanIXment votre ! Gauthier

Integration API Outbound Processor to get IT Component Resources data out

I need to export Resource data. Integration API seems to be the way to go since this data is not available via excel export. I can’t find examples of outbound processors that reference this data. An example would be appreciated. Data that I need: links with names, URLs, types, descriptions, and diagram references ...… and maybe logos (but not critical).

Rolling out LeanIX to your Stakeholders - Your Approach

Hello All!I hope everyone is doing great and is having a wonderful start to the week. I’m often asked for advice with rolling out LeanIX to the broader organization. It can be challenging to effectively loop in various teams and stakeholders and officially begin ‘democratizing’ EA within your business. While LeanIX does have an official Rollout and Adoption Toolkit (which I wholeheartedly recommend checking out and utilizing if you haven’t already), I’m curious to learn how you went about this all-important step in your LeanIX journey. I’m hoping you can share your answers to some or all of these questions below:Have you begun your rollout to the wider organization yet? Still Planned? With regard to your rollout, what does your end goal look like? How have you (or will you) go about gaining stakeholder adoption of LeanIX and EA as a whole? What (if any) major challenges were you facing before, during, and after your rollout of LeanIX?Thank you for your responses to these questions eve

Keeping with the TIME theme...

Hi All, Hope everyone is having a fantastic Monday!If you haven’t seen my post last week, I asked whether or not your organization has implemented TIME in your EA practice and your thoughts about the model itself. @Jacques, a greatly appreciated community member, responded to this question with a great example of how they’ve utilized TIME and the custom approach they utilized (seriously, this is a great response and if you haven’t read it, please do so!). Jacques also posted a question at the end of his response to the community, and to ensure it gets visibility, I wanted to repost it here.Jacques wrote: “How are other organisations assessing TIME across their organisation with different Functional Fits per region/team/business unit ?” Appreciate your time and have a great week everyone!
