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

TIME and IT Components

I am running into a scenario where we would like to use TIME with IT Components, along with our Applications. I am thinking of a scenario where we might have several components in a Tech Category, and we want to Technology Rationalize down to a reasonable number. Using the TIME classifications would be a big help there to help show teams what they should be using moving forward as we work to decommission the others. Any thoughts/ideas on this would be appreciated.

Business Capabilities and Business Processes

Hello everyone,My current understanding is that behind most business capabilites there is a process that describes how this capability is achieved operationally. This process is modeled in SAP Signavio according to BPMN 2.0, for example.However, my understanding is also that certain capabilities can be used or activated within a process in order to support a process. Therefore, I have the following questions: Is it correct that business capabilities are used within a process to realize a higher-level capability? How can this relationship between capabilities and processes be represented in Signavio? So how do I illustrate in my BPMN, that the process describes “how” a certain capability is delivered? And how do I show other capabilities that are required for this process?Thank you very much for your support!

Changing Metamodel to link Business Products to IT Components

Hello, I’m fairly new to using LeanIx tool for EA practice, within our organisation we have determined a few business products used by consumers and these products are supported by IT Components. The confusion we have is how do we link the business product to IT components without creating any applications. I understand we can change the out of the box meta model definition, just wanted to see if anyone has tried this approach before and if yes what implications does it have?

Portal "Request Now" Link to New Application Fact Sheet Entry Form?

As a bit of a follow up to this topic: How to include Application displayName in "Request Now" Action Button of Application Portal | Community (leanix.net) I am wondering if it is possible to redirect the “Request Now” button in the Portal to open a form for filling out a new fact sheet. I have just created a Data Quality Governance process with tagging and To-Dos for making sure applications are entered with good data quality, and having the portal as an entry point for new manual application requests to take advantage of this would be great.

Importing Application to Business Context with a Constraint Relation

Hello all,We’re in the process of uploading an application inventory for a new Business Organization.All Organizations share the same Business Capabilities Architectures. Although some organizations might use different Business Process coverage for the same application. For example: This example requires that App A’s Relation to Process A is applicable only for Org A (same for App B for Org B).We can specify that doing it FactSheet by FactSheet. The question is: Is it possible to do it using the import template? I was not able to see any relation attribute to specify it when exporting an application with this feature…Factsheet screenshot: Exported file ThanksPaco

Interface Fact Sheet: Category, Provider and Consumer

Hello dear LeanIX Community, i am currently struggling with understanding the concept of the fields Provider Application and Consumer Applications on the Interface Fact Sheet. As I understand it, it has nothing to do with the direction of the data flow. But how can I identify which application is the provider and which one is the consumer of the interface?And also when should I use Logical Interface and when API as the subtype of the Fact Sheet?Thank you very much.

Guidance on how to use Organisation fact sheet to identify who is using an application and where it supports

We are relatively new to LeanIX and have just completed an initial phase with a small selection of applications. User Groups have proven to be a real challenge and we are considering if the new Organisation and sub types help us address this.We have grown via acquisition so have a very diverse IT landscape with multiple sites in the same country using different applications for the same business capability. This is the detail we want to capture. Therefore User Group has been set as physical locations (addresses) which represent sites. We have then put in a 4 tier hierarchy to help aggregate that data into meaningful summaries. The challenges we still face are:Who is using the application versus where it is supporting? Where we have finance shared services, they are the user of an application for say accounts receivable but the data belongs to a site. Finance Shared Services being the User Group is a given, but do people also map the site, or just accept that the Accounts Receiva

Let's Talk M&A: How have you utilized LeanIX during Mergers and Acquisitions?

Hello Everyone! Recently, I have been working with a few customers that are currently working on integrating their IT landscape with another organization’s due to recent M&A activity. It’s no secret that M&A is extremely common for companies worldwide and has been growing in popularity since 2020. We also know M&A poses particular challenges for Enterprise Architects. With this in mind, I’d like to foster a conversation all about M&A and how LeanIX has helped you. Please include as many details as you are willing to provide!Some questions to get the conversation moving: If you were starting from scratch, looking back, what would be the first thing you’d do using LeanIX to support M&A?
