Solution Modeling

Is there any guidance on how to properly capture the model/architecture of a solution? I understand how to assign technology product roles to a technology build. The editor doesn't seem to account for components to be defined like front-end, back-end and then to assign Technology Provider Usage to ...

API Editor?

I'm trying to determine the best way to model integrations (either APIs or other middleware based flows). I've read past posts on Integrations and I am aligned that these are application providers and can then be connected to the technology product usages that make them up because they are behavior ...

Fitness Scores

I'm struggling to understand the usage of the service_quality_value_score. I know that it is used for the matrix around business fit and technology fit on the capability model, however, I'm not sure if low scores are good or bad. On the editor the 'good' values are green and bad are red, but on the ...

Re: Software Architecture Modeling?

Going to try adding to this post before I create another one. Still trying to figure out the best way to capture this.

Here is a real example I'm working on.

We have an application that has been built. It has 3 basic components to it:
- Front-end
- Back-end
- Data Pipeline

Within the Front-end ...

Performance Measure Widget

Wondering if there is a clean way to add the comments slot to this? It would be useful to capture a few notes about why something was scored the way it was.

I notice in the KPI Tracking widget, when you create an actual or target, you have the option of adding in comments.

I also get slightly ...

Decisions on Element Summaries

It would be great to be able to see decisions that impact elements (Technology Product approvals, Application approvals) on the summary views for these items (Application Provider Summary, Technology Product Summary, etc.). We can add the decision 'tab' to the editor for these elements, but seeing ...

Software Architecture Modeling?

I'm trying to understand how to best position the modeling phase that is used during designing a solution vs. the solutions deployment. I've read the university pages on capturing software architecture and it's components, but I notice that there isn't really an editor (cloud) to support this and ...

I've been working with the proposal editor and was able to figure out what api's were being called to populate the almost all the outcome elements. The one that I couldn't find in the api documentation was outcome-categories, can you tell me what class that is pulling from? I believe the KPI ...

Being able to scope by a stakeholder would be a useful feature allowing stakeholders to see the views based on what applies to them.

I'm trying to figure out how to properly model the technology products assigned to a node (cloud edition). I have a SaaS solution that requires an on-premise server (node).

Re: Application Editor - Module Modelling

Thanks, that is very helpful and makes sense. We had someone create a parent "product" as a composite application provider and then various applications that make up the product as it's 'modules'. It didn't make sense within the model. I've shifted them to using Application Family as the parent ...

Is there a way to allocate the costs to a business domain ...
