What is the status of our rationalization plan?

The business question highlights the number of new and retired applications in the organization. An added application is an application that has a start date that is before or in the current month. A retired application has an end date that is before or in the current month.

Click Total, New, or Retired in the legend below the chart to remove the corresponding data from the chart. To focus on only the new and retired applications in the chart, click the Total.

Applications Over Time - Table: Tracks the yearly numbers of total applications, new applications, and retired applications based on the timespan set in the filter. This view includes the costs of the new and retired applications so that you can assess the financial impact of your rationalization activities.
