Which methodologies can you use in SAP Lean!IX to assess your application portfolio?

Question

Options

• ADiagramming to get an as-is-architecture based on your assessment automatically
• BTIME to classify applications into the categories Tolerate, Invest, Migrate, and Eliminate
• CPace Layering tclassify business capabilities and prioritize your investments

• A
  11% (4)
• B
  84% (32)
• C
  5% (2)

Explanation

TIME (Tolerate, Invest, Migrate, Eliminate) is the recognized application portfolio management methodology within SAP LeanIX, giving architects a structured framework to evaluate each application's strategic value and determine its future direction. It maps directly to LeanIX's Application Portfolio Management capabilities and is the industry-standard approach the tool is built around.

Option A is incorrect because diagramming in LeanIX produces architecture visualizations, but it does not automatically generate an assessment classification - diagrams are a documentation tool, not a portfolio evaluation methodology.

Option C is incorrect because Pace Layering (a Gartner concept) is used to classify business capabilities by how quickly they change (Systems of Record, Differentiation, and Innovation), not to assess individual applications in a portfolio. While LeanIX supports Pace Layering, it serves a different purpose than application portfolio assessment.

Memory tip: Think of TIME as the "traffic light" for your app portfolio - it tells you what to keep slow (Tolerate), speed up (Invest), redirect (Migrate), or stop entirely (Eliminate).
