Managing Enterprise Architecture Workspace

Use the Enterprise Architecture Workspace (EAW) for managing portfolios, modeling architecture, and visualizing IT landscapes.

• Working with Enterprise Architecture workspace home page
  Enterprise Architecture Workspace home page serves as a personalized command center for enterprise architects, offering a unified, role-based view of portfolio insights, tasks, and health indicators. The Home page is designed to give architects immediate visibility into the state of their portfolios.
• Working with Dashboards
  Dashboards in Enterprise Architecture Workspace is a central, visual interface for monitoring, analyzing, and acting on enterprise architecture data. Dashboards provide a consolidated view of the health and performance of key portfolios such as application portfolio, business portfolio, information portoflio and technology portfolio.
• Working with the business portfolio module
  Manage business capabilities, add sub-capabilities, associate business applications.
• Working with application rationalization
  Application rationalization helps enterprise architects evaluate, optimize, and govern the business application portfolio with clarity and strategic intent. Application rationalization is a structured process to assess all business applications by category, capability, or family and determine whether to invest, sustain, migrate, or retire.
• Working with Technology Portfolio Management (TPM) in EA Workspace
  Technology Portfolio Management provide visibility, governance, and actionable insights into the technologies used across the enterprise.
• Working with Technology Reference Model (TRM) in EA Workspace
  The Technology Reference Model provides a structured, centralized view of all technology products; hardware, software, and platforms used across the enterprise.
• Working with Gantt chart views in EA Workspace
  The Gantt charts in the Enterprise Architecture Workspace allow toggling between TPM (Technology Portfolio Management) and TRM (Technology Reference Model) views. This enables enterprise architects to visualize key lifecycle stages such as deployment, maintenance, and retirement. Identify risks like outdated configurations or unsupported technologies.
• Working with Enterprise Modeling and Visualization
  Enterprise Modeling and Visualization provides a structured, visual framework for understanding and managing the complex relationships between IT systems, business processes, and organizational goals.
• Working with data certification
  In the Enterprise Architecture Workspace, enterprise architects can manage certifications alongside requests, assessments, and portfolio health insights without switching to separate modules. You can define rules for validating data (for example, application lifecycle, technology standards), automate recurring checks (daily, monthly, quarterly), assign certifiers to review and approve data. You can highlight overdue certifications and compliance gaps.
• Working with architecture analyzer
  Use the architectural analyzer in the Enterprise Architecture Workspace to visually explore and analyze relationships between Common Service Data Model (CSDM) entities like business applications, business capabilities, application services, and information objects.
• Working with Portfolio list view
  Manage your business architecture, application portfolio, information portfolio and manage all your own entities form the portfolio list view of the Enterprise Architecture Workspace.
