This area contains Application Portfolio Management (APM) information related to affected applications (if applicable). It is used to highlight the current status of applications plus the short term and long term disposition as follows:
1. Sustain - To leave as is and maintain.
2. Decommission - To retire (sunset) application.
3. Remediate - To improve code quality, developer productivity and overall reliability of application.
4. Re-Platform - To port an application from one technical platform to another by reusing (partially or fully) the code asset in the target platform.
5. Replace - Removing the existing application by decommissioning it and replacing it with another solution
6. Consolidate - Replace an application with another existing application capable of scaling.
7. Enhance/Expand - Reuse and extend functionality via development or additional software components/modules.
In the APM context, an application is designated as Strategic, Core Delivery, or Supporting based on the top level capability within the Departmental Business Capability Model (DBCM) that it supports. It is deemed mission critical through the Business Impact Analysis (BIA) process according to TBS criteria.
