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!

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!

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.

Modeling Organization for Applications used by everyone?

Does anyone have any advice on how best to model an Organization-Application linkage for Apps that are used by everyone in the organization? I’m thinking I’d want to create a Level 1 Organization (subtype=BU) to represent all employees of the organization generically. If there’s a specific team or region of users where that application has a distinct functional fit that needs to be called out, then we would add those as additional organizations. I think that should give us flexibility to provide insight into different usage perspectives for those shared services, but curious to know what approaches others have taken.

Data Flow Diagrams

Is there anyone doing Data Flow maps? If so, can you please help me how to get started? I’d like to do simple data flow connecting multiple applications with arrows indicating the data that flow between them, in which direction etc. I tried to read the Data Flow article but it is not very helpful as it simply just assumes that you already have all the relationships maintained and only focuses on how to visualize it. What I am looking for is how to really start from scratch - e.g. imagine I have 2 fresh application fact sheets and I want to add them to Data Flow diagram, then draw an arrow between them and on the arrow then maintain the ‘data flow attributes’ - direction, data content, maybe the method/protocol etc. I did not find easy way how to do it directly in the diagram. Any input / guidance welcome. BTW it is also unclear to me what is the real difference between Free Draw and Data Flow diagram editor - they seem to look exactly the same. Again, the official articles are not very

Include "Date created" and "Date mapped" fields in factsheet search results

We are looking into reporting metrics on specific factsheets data, and in that, one of the key attributes is when the factsheet (Factsheet A) got created (date created) and when it gets mapped to another factsheet (date mapped to Factsheet B). While the date created and date mapped are available as part of the audit information, they are not available to include in search results. Can these be configured to expose for search, atleast between Factsheet A and Factsheet B?

Multiple servicenow integration configuration sync error

Hi everyone,After configuring 4 integrations to 4 different servicenow instances, I am seeing that only one of them is run daily by the Full_sync_job and the other 3 are skipped. Can this be resolved so that all of the 4 integration sync run everyday. Moreover, if that is possible then is it possible to choose the  order of running the sync by which I mean that I can choose which sync should run first and then which one should run and so on so that all of them follow an order of running.

Democratization of LeanIX

Hi Everyone!Happy Monday, and hope everyone is doing well.I know there are many segments within LeanIX that have layers of functionality and value utilization, which are dependent on use cases and stakeholders that are leveraging the platform.I would love to know if you have a favorite or a set of favorite functionality that you find extremely helpful within the platform and how it has contributed to your success within LeanIX.Are diagrams being leveraged and if so, which part of your technology infrastructure is being mapped out by visuals?  Are there selective fact sheet types (standard or custom) that have been of focus for capturing data elements this year? Which type of automations have you implemented that has delivered greater efficiency (could be APIs or out of the box automations within the admin function)? Are their certain types of reports (i.e., landscape, matrix, portfolio and roadmap reports) that have signified importance in resonating the needed information to make effe

Handle version history without overloading Application factsheets

Hello everyone,We would like to envision how to handle versioning in LeanIX correctly. There is the Release field in the Application factsheet type, but in my company we have the need to track several versions of one applications because we have parallel versions.Let’s say we have three applications A, B and CWe have for A:V1.0.1 installed at site 1V1.0.6 installed at site 2V2.0.0 installed at site 3For B:V8.0.0 at site 1V9.2.0 at site 3For C:V5.0.1 at site 2At any time, another version of C could ​be instal​​​​led at site 3 and it could be different than the one from site 2 so we have a need to track it also.We could clone three times the Application factsheet for A, two times for B, and change the release field but that seems inefficient. Also if one of the shared field (the description, or the Application Owner, or anything else) change, we’d have to edit every factsheet manually. That is also inefficient. I had thought first to create another factsheet type to represent the Version
