    Capability Planning And Technology Roadmapping

    Adapt business capabilities to drive digital transformation and deliver new strategies

    Creating new digital products and services requires evolving business capabilities and investing in enabling technology. As your organization shifts from a project- to a product-centric approach, business capabilities are often the basis for internal products.

    • Analyze business capabilities against strategy and propose investments required for enhancement or creation of new capabilities.
    • Visualize capability maps with associated technology, processes, suppliers, products, and services to identify gaps and required investments.
    • Define how to achieve your digital strategy with roadmaps that connect strategies, investments, and technology. Understand trade-offs, create alignment, and make better priority decisions.
  • Analyze information flows and technology stacks to visualize impacts by integrating strategy, capability, applications, programs, products, and projects. View • a larger version of the image
    Technology Standards And Architecture Governance

    Leverage architecture standards to reduce costs and mitigate risks while meeting time to market goals

    Use technology architecture management to translate business requirements into standards that help your business meet its strategic objectives while reducing cost and mitigating risk. Document standards, usage, and lifecycles for easy, up-to-date enterprise architecture governance and compliance reporting.

    With searchable technology lifecycles and visualizations, Planview enterprise architecture software empowers EA teams to proactively plan and prioritize technology updates.

    Enable an adaptive architecture governance framework. Deliver transparency with pre-built visualizations to provide on-demand compliance reporting. Processes for mapping architectural compliance and variances feed back into architecture definition.

    • Reveal opportunities for reducing risks and costs by identifying redundant applications
    • Minimize business disruption from application changes
    • Determine where to add or develop new applications to drive digital transformation
