What is the business value, architectural impact, and project risk based on

Demands - Portfolio Chart: The matrix displays demands based on the computation of the business value, architectural impact, and project risk scores of each demand. Applications that do not have any business value, architectural complexity, and project risk indicators are not evaluated.

The X-axis value is the weighted business value score based on the following indicators:

• Cost Savings Potential: The estimated reduction in expenses if the demand is realized.
• Market Opportunity: The estimated amount of business opportunities if the demand is realized.
• Strategic Value: The estimated contribution to the business strategy if the demand is realized.

The Y-axis is the weighted architectural impact score based on the following indicators:

• Complexity Reduction: The estimated decrease in complexity in the IT architecture if the demand is realized.
• Innovation: The estimated increase in innovation in the IT architecture if the demand is realized.
• Standard Conformity: The estimated increase in standardization in the IT architecture if the demand is realized.

The bubble size is the weighted project risk score based on the following indicators:

• Team Size: The risk to the demand due to the size of the project teams, which may require increased coordination and communication efforts.
• Duration: The risk to the demand due to the duration of the projects, which may result in failure due staff turnover, project complexity, etc.
• Technology Adoption: The risk to the demand due to the adoption of new technologies and the availability of in-house competence to use those technologies.
