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.

Logical operators in Inventory queries?

Hello dear experts,I am new to LeanIX EAM, and in the Inventory I would like to make a selection of Applications, in a somewhat sophisticated way.I have two sets of applications defined by two "User Groups". By using the selection parameter "at least one of the selected item", I can identify all the applications attached to the first User Group (G1) OR to the second (G2). By using "all of the selected items", I identify the applications attached to the first User Group AND to the second.I would like to use a third group (G3), and get all the applications belonging to (G1 AND G2 ) OR G3.Is there a way to achieve this?Thanks in advance for your help.Best regards,Thierry

[EAM] Sharing Dashboard to specific users (similar functionality like Saved Searches & Reports)

Dashboard functionality has only 3 access restriction - Unrestricted, Write restricted and Read & Write restricted. My view is by Using “Share dashboard (similar to Search and Reports) feature” LeanIX admins/members can create architecture viewpoints views for CIO, Architects, respective business users. Use Case: CIO/CTO will be interested to view the CAPEX alignment to architecture land scape, architects can view risk and plan proactive mitigation etc. Please share your views and suggestions.

Relation between IT-Components (Hard- and Software)

Is there a good approach for modeling relations between Hard- and Software-IT-Components? For example, I want to link a server (hardware it-component) to the operating system (software it-component).

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.

For IT components, how do you differentiate a service from software?

This seems like such a basic topic that I’m almost afraid to ask it, but it is a source of confusion for our user base and the LeanIX docs are kind of silent on the subject, so here goes: how would you describe to a LeanIX newbie the difference between a service IT component and a software IT component?

Add a relation application to application

I would like configure the application fact sheet to add a relation to another application fact sheet.If I click on one section and then on “Add Relation” I can create a relation to any other type of fact sheet, but not application.Is this a known limitation? Or is there a way to relax some constraint somewhere to enable it? Thank youRoberto
