Hi 

I want categorize Business Applications in 3 levels or at least 2 levels - any good ideas appreciated, as I don't seem to find the values:

How do I map a new LifeCycle Stage and LifeCycle Stage Status and want to report on following values:

  • Invest - Application is expected to undergo major development to deliver new functionality.
  • Enhance - Application is a good candidate to build out additional features
  • Sustain - Application is not a long-term solution, but needs to be maintained until an alternative emerges
  • Sunset - Application is marked for shut-down in the immediate or near future. The decision for retirement has been taken
  • Dormant - Application is kept alive only for access to historical data due to legal requirements.
  • Fully Decommissioned - Application and infrastructure removed

Except for the "Fully decommissioned" - I see these values all represented in the "Operational Status"

I think I need all 3 levels

  • Status: In production
  • Lifecycle stage: Operational
  • Life Cycle Stage Status: Not giving me enough information/values...In use, Pending retirement, In maintenance

Thank in advance

Hi Stig,

Nice question and I already had that in mind to test it out, but there wasn't time yet.

My understanding of the lifecycle mapping is, that the new fields "Lifecycle Stage" and "Lifecycle Status" can coexist with ONE other status field from your table.

In addition I understood the lifecycle mapping, that it is not necessary to have a 1:1 Lifecycle Status - Status field mapping. So for your requirement it would be necessary to do a n:1 mapping. For sure this would mean, that the new lifecycle field will only be used in the background. For the user you would still use the status field.

For more informations I found this article really helpful.

Would be exited to hear about it, when you tried it out.

Thank you.

Regards Sebastian
