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

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

Creating "Product-Specific" views

Hello everyone -I’m new to LeanIX community and I did search to see if there was a similar question asked and didn’t find anything. Let me give some context before I ask the question: I am a business architect in a health insurance company that sells different types of health insurance “Products’. I’m documenting value streams, using Business Context fact sheets, across the organization and then linking Applications, which have their dependencies on the IT components. There are certain value streams that are either specific to a “Product” or multiple Products. Similarly there could be Applications that would be used for a specific Product. I need to create “Product-Specific” views in LeanIX. For example, I need to answer following questions:Which Applications support Product A? Give me a view of Product B value streams and the related Applications and IT Components? Here are my questions:How can I best associate specific Products against value streams and applications? Would “Tags” be

Gestion des diamgrames sous Leanix

Bonjour à la communauté francophone de Leanix, shure french but sorry very bad n french write textA la MGEN (Mutuelle de l’Education Nationale) nous avons fait le choix de Leanix depuis Janvier 2022.Nous utilisons Leanix dans le mode Run et Build des projets et nous souhaiterions connaitre vos impressions concernant l’utilisation des diagrammes. Notre ambition est de faire maintenir à jour les diagrammes construites dans le mode Run par es référants des projets en mode RUN car un diagramme non maintenu à jour ne sert strictement à rien. Nous constatons des limitations dans l’interface actuell de Leanix par rapport à besoin : comment par exemple pour un “béotien” d’une équipe projet retrouver facilement les diagrammes de son périmètre ou d’un périmètre connexe. Avec le niveau de fonctionnalité de l’interface actuel, nous avons rencontré des difficulté et en retour très mitigé des utilisateur malgré une règle de nommage, catégorie de diagramme, mot clef ans le libelle de nommage des dia

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!

Collecting Useful Resources to Share with LeanIX Customers

Hi Everyone! Happy Monday. If you have worked closely with the LeanIX CS team or even with the LeanIX sales team before your journey with LeanIX, you were likely exposed to various materials, resources, and guides about LeanIX and related topics. I would love to know if you have a favorite or a set of favorite resources that you have used or shared with your teams and why you found them so helpful. They can be any type of resource and can be centered on different topics. I’d like to compile an internal list to reference for myself and team, and to give to newer customers when they start out with LeanIX. Thanks all and have a great week!

Help with a Lean Process Document template?

Dredging up application vs IT component

The topic was brought up and discussed in the old online community in this post (at least) and at the recent LeanIX Community Event in Boston. The LeanIX docs address the topic and there are videos that discuss the topic as well. I still feel like this is still a very gray area though. How do your organizations differentiate applications from IT components? At the Boston event, one of our colleagues shared his company’s documented definition of an application. it was insightful. Do other companies have definitions that they would be willing to share? At Boston Scientific, we use a decision tree to answer the question whether the architect should use an application fact sheet, an IT component fact sheet, or both. I can share that with this group if this topic gets some momentum.

Reporting AI Potential

Following the release of the AI Governance and Adoption extension, I can see a lot of benefit in the AI potential assessment on the Application and Business Capability.What I’m struggling to do however is visualise it. Ideally I’d like a heat mapped view of my whole organisation showing where the overlap is between high potential capabilities and applications. I’ve explored the various report types and can’t figure out a way to achieve this so looking for some ideas as to whether this is possible in a single report?For example, if I look at my capability model and identify the key areas of potential for AI, what I’d like to do is then see the applications supporting those capabilities that also have high potential as a way to prioritise the applications where we should implement AI.
