What to expect

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to get an overview of the next steps

Learn the three key Fact Sheet Types for onboarding:

The SAP LeanIX meta model provides the structural foundation for organizing and managing Enterprise Architecture, consisting of 12 different fact sheet types. To ensure your onboarding leads quickly to success, we will primarily focus on the three key fact sheet types during onboarding:

Step 1 - Application

We begin with Applications, as they are central to the SAP LeanIX meta model and form the foundation of your workspace. To ensure a successful onboarding, we recommend identifying and entering at least 20 key applications used within your organization. These initial applications should be selected based on their mission criticality and should be relevant to both architecture teams and business stakeholders. These applications will serve as the core upon which other elements are built.

Step 2 - Business Capabilities

Once you’ve established your initial set of applications, the next step is to determine which departments or teams are using them. This insight will guide you in importing the relevant Business Capabilities linked to those applications.

Step 3 - Organizations

The final initial step of adding data during onboarding involves associating Organizations with the imported Business Capabilities. This will help you establish a solid first baseline within your workspace..

Note

After onboarding you can continue expanding your workspace by adding more applications, business capabilities, organizations, and additional fact sheet types from the SAP LeanIX meta model as needed

Key Considerations When Importing

Key Considerations when Importing

Applications

Identifying key (mission-critical) applications that are relevant to both architecture teams and business stakeholders.

Business Capabilities

Determining the business capabilities these applications support. This can be done by leveraging the reference catalog or by mapping capabilities based on an application (e.g., Salesforce supports "Customer Order and Contract Management").

Organizations

Creating a holistic, two-level organizational model to identify who uses these applications (structures I recommend attached below)
