Integrate Architecture Principles into EAM

Question

Hi all,

My team and I are looking for possibilities to integrate our architecture principles into LeanIX. Are there any community members with experiences on succesfully doing so? As of now we've communicated our architecture principles through Sharepoint, but we'd like to have LeanIX as our main source for all Enterprise Architecture related subjects.

Right now we're considering to use the Dashboard in order to state the principles, accompanied by a corresponding report. Hereby an example: A text column showing a cloud first principle with a statement that 'SaaS before PaaS, before IaaS' etc., accompanied by a report showing the current status (how much SaaS, on-premise, etc). See screenshot.

Any further ideas or experiences on showcasing architecture principles within LeanIX?

We have introduced Architecture Principles by extending the Meta Model. This allows us to link them with Architecture Decision Records but also with Application and use them in drawings (Solution Architecture) to visualize alignment with them etc.

Hi @Steen Jensen,Yes, using the Objectives factsheet with a specific subtype would be my first approach. You could then relate each Initiative/Project to the Objectives.I would also consider adding aselect field to the relationship to be able to specify adherence (something like Satisfies/Partially Satisfies/Does not Satisfy)...
