Technical vs Functional Fit - unclear definitions

We are starting with Technical and Functional Fit for apps in our portfolio. I would like to use out of the box functionality and definitions, however we discovered that existing definitions of these two attributes are quite hard to judge. Example: definition of a perfect functional fit is “High number of functions available” - we are not really looking at functions in business value assessment, we would be looking to how well this application realizes my business problem end to end. Additionally, we want to make sure that app owners are less prone to rate everything as “prefect fit” (which we know they tend to do).

Does anyone have experience with successfully enriching these definitions?

Hello ​@natalia,

I hope other members of the community can also guide you sharing their experience here.
In the meantime I would like to share with you our Survey template designed for TIME assessment that you can find in the Store from your LeanIX environment.
You can find the link here.
This survey lists 5 questions to better assess the functional and the technical fit. You can use it as inspiration to make your own definition or ideally use it as a survey to gather information directly from you Application owners.
i hope this insight will be helpful!
Looking forward to hearing your feedback!

Thank you! I have added it to my workplace from the store and I see it’s a survey, however I don’t see it appeared in the leanix environment (at least not in surveys). Where would I be seeing it?
