  • Value Streams and Processes (“how” the business works and can be improved)
  • Information Landscapes (“the Stuff” of the Business, what is important)
  • Organizational Landscapes (“who” is involved, and how value flows across the organization)
  • Technology Reference Models (the supporting technologies that are the foundation for your IT Department)

  • Application Value Charts (“TIME Charts”) show the relative disposition of the Applications in one or many Portfolios
  • The Criteria for all these Charts and Models can be adjusted on-the-fly to support rich analysis and to compare scenarios to support discovery of Functional Redundancy, Strategic Fit, and Application Business and Technical Health
