Application Portfolio Management in LeanIX

The onboarding process

Time-to-Value Onboarding in 4 Weeks

Week 1

Initial Setup & Goalsetting

In our first week we begin with a kick-off to generate joint understandings of onboarding goals and expectations. In this early onboarding stage, the Business Champion, the Sponsor and (optional) the Single-Sign-On (SSO) expert are required. By the end of the first week, the initial workspace set-up, including SSO, is completed and our support channels & resources are known.

Key Outcomes

Workspace setup (incl. SSO)
LeanIX Support & resources known
Joint understanding of onboarding goals & expectations

Week 2

Data Mapping & Import

The second week is all about the data. Together with the Business Champion, the Technical Champion and the Data Owner/s we prioritize the data for the initial import and map your data to the LeanIX data model. We also enable you to import the structured data into the LeanIX Workspace.

Key Outcomes

Prioritization of data for initial import
Mapping of customer data to LeanIX metamodel
Initial data imported

Week 3

Workspace Review

After getting the data into the system, we use the third week to make sure that the data is analyzable and feeds into the key reports. This provides you with valuable first insights into your data (and in just 3 weeks!). Additionally, the focus at this stage is on getting the workspace ready to later welcome pioneer users to LeanIX in the upcoming weeks and to set up the dates for the user training.

Key Outcomes

Data analyzable and key Reports accessible
Workspace well-configured to welcome pioneers
User enablements planned

Week 4

Collaborative Advantages

In the fourth week we focus on building a LeanIX community within your company and enabling the collaborative advantages of LeanIX. Pioneer users are involved at this stage, and feedback sessions with them provide valuable insights for a successful roll-out. After reviewing again onboarding goals, Success KPIs and targets for the upcoming weeks and months are agreed upon.

Key Outcomes

Setup for sustainable governance
Start of building LeanIX community
Agreed success KPIs, mid-term goals/roadmap and mode of interaction
