Portfolios and Roadmaps

Portfolio and roadmap views are derived from the architecture repository. They do not create a separate portfolio data store.

Application Portfolio

The Application Portfolio presents fields such as:

  • Lifecycle
  • Ownership
  • Criticality
  • Business fit
  • Technical fit
  • Strategic fit
  • Hosting model
  • Persisted Application Risk

OpenEA derives a TIME-style classification from business and technical fit:

Position General interpretation
Invest Stronger business and technical fit
Migrate Stronger business fit, weaker technical fit
Tolerate Weaker business fit, stronger technical fit
Eliminate Weaker business and technical fit

Important

TIME-style positioning is a portfolio aid. OpenEA does not automatically decide that an application should be eliminated or migrated.

Technology Portfolio

The Technology Portfolio brings together:

  • Lifecycle
  • Strategic status
  • Vendor support horizon
  • Dependent application count
  • Technology Risk

This helps connect technology lifecycle concerns to the applications exposed to them.

Capability Map

The Capability Map is derived from the Business Capability hierarchy. It overlays:

  • Maturity
  • Strategic importance
  • Supporting application count
  • Capability Risk

The hierarchy is stored in repository data through the capability parent reference; the map itself is derived.

Roadmaps

Roadmaps use structured dates already present in the repository, including:

  • Application go-live and retirement dates
  • Initiative start and target end dates
  • Technology support dates
  • Universal validity dates

OpenEA does not persist a separate freeform timeline model in 1.5.2.
