Explanation

Business Capability Maps (A), Fact Sheets (B), and Risk Management (C) are the core LeanIX features that directly address aligning IT with business goals and managing the IT portfolio. The Business Capability Map visually links IT assets to business functions, making strategic alignment visible. Fact Sheets are LeanIX's foundational building blocks - structured records for documenting applications, processes, and capabilities that form the backbone of portfolio management. Risk Management enables teams to identify and track risks tied to IT assets, which is essential for governance during a transformation project.

Data Flow Diagrams (D) are primarily a technical/architectural design tool focused on how data moves between systems - useful for data privacy (GDPR) analysis, but not a portfolio alignment or business goal feature. IT Cost Management (E) involves financial planning and budgeting disciplines that go beyond LeanIX's core scope; dedicated tools like Apptio serve that function more specifically.

Memory tip: Think of the three correct answers as the "know, track, protect" trio - Business Capability Map = know how IT supports the business; Fact Sheets = track every IT asset; Risk Management = protect the portfolio from threats.
