Which applications require reassessment for strategic recommendation?

  1. Go to the business question What are our investment/retirement candidates?
  2. Review the TIME Portfolio Analysis view. Red bubbles indicate that the strategic recommendation is not aligned with the business/technical scores of the application. In this case, the application's business score or technical score or both contradict the value the strategic recommendation made for the application. And if the bubble is large, then it represents an expensive application and chances are it requires immediate attention.
  3. Examine the red as well as yellow applications in a quadrant and consider if the business/technical scores contradict the strategic recommendation made for the application.

    If an application has Recommendation = Tolerate but is positioned in the Eliminate quadrant, consider whether this application should be sundowned. On the other hand, if an application has Recommendation = Tolerate but is positioned in the Invest quadrant, consider whether this application should be the focus of further investment. Update the Recommendation attribute based on your decision.

    • Point to the application to view the tooltip that displays the Recommendation value.
    • Consider whether the Recommendation attribute should be changed.
  4. To change the Recommendation attribute, double-click the application to open its content area > Overview page.
