26. Introduction to Application Porftolio Assessment.mp4

Congratulations on your work so far. In the previous sections, you have learned all the basics about Linux, the key features that enterprise architects work with on a daily and other users leverage on a regular basis or when action is required. Now it is time to bring all of that into a context, which is the initial use case customers of Linux start with. In this section, you will learn how to run your first application portfolio assessment end-to-end. A prerequisite to get started with the use case is to upload initial data into LenaX, which we have covered in the bring your data to LenaX section. Another critical factor is to have well-defined business capabilities in place for the topics in scope. We covered some best practices on business capabilities in a previous section. Keep in mind that business capabilities usually don't change much over time, so they should be reliable and understood by all your stakeholders. LenaX Professional Services can help to facilitate the journey and ensure that you build a good foundation for all future use cases you will be running in LenaX. Enjoy the section, which is a mix of demo walkthroughs and videos, as well as interactive walkthroughs through the tool.

27. What- Application Portfolio Assessment.mp4

Application Portfolio Assessment is a systematic review and documentation of an organization's applications evaluating their interdependencies, usage and contribution to the business. This process aims to identify valuable and vulnerable applications, create transparency and provide a comprehensive understanding of the organization's application portfolio, thereby enabling informed decision-making and efficient resource allocation. Furthermore, an application portfolio assessment is typically the first step towards more advanced use cases, such as application rationalisation. Now let's explore the key activities typically conducted during an application portfolio assessment initiative. Some of them are documenting past, present and future applications deployed or planned to be inside an organisation, organising applications according to business capabilities, grading the technical and functional value of applications, supporting businesses with reliable information on IT costs and investments, identifying risks and vulnerabilities stemming from end-of-life application service life cycles.

28. Why- Application Portfolio Assessment.mp4

As you have learned in the first section of this learning path and probably know from own experience, getting full transparency of the entire IT landscape is highly relevant for organizations in an ever-changing business world, but it is not a trivial task at all. Application portfolio assessment helps EAs to understand their IT landscape and answer foundational questions such as how many and which applications do we have in our organization, How complex is our landscape? What are the main cost drivers of the IT landscape? Which part of the business does each application support, and how well? How critical is each application for the business? Which applications pose a risk to the business? In the next lesson, we will explain how you get answers to those questions with the help of Linex.

Learn how to conduct an application portfolio assessment with Linux EAM. Discover the key features of Linux APM module and the optional TRM module for adding lifecycle data to applications and IT components.<br><br># This description was auto-generated #

29. How- Run Application Portfolio Assessment.mp4

An application portfolio assessment initiative typically takes place during the first 4-10 weeks of your journey with Linux EAM. To realize this use case, you need the following Linux EAM module. Linux Application Portfolio Management, short APM, is the Linux standard module available to all customers that provides key features, such as the dashboard, inventory, reports and diagrams, and so on, that are needed to run the use case. In addition, you can leverage Linix Technology Risk Management, short TRM, which is a module that needs to be licensed separately. It is optional for this use case, but will come in handy if you want to add lifecycle data to applications and IT components in scope.
