Portfolio analysis
Turn the portfolio record into decisions: what to keep, invest in, migrate or retire.
Dashboard
- Needs attention: components out of support, high-severity findings, overdue review campaigns, support milestones in the next 90 days, applications without a Business Owner, and applications gone from Assets. Each item links to where you can act.
- Freshness for applications, capabilities, vendors and software: average score and how many are stale.
- Charts by lifecycle, tier and TIME decision, and panels for governance, end of support and data gaps.
Figures are refreshed at most every 10 minutes; Refresh recalculates them now.
Assessments, TIME and TCO
- Record functional and technical assessments on an application's Assessments & TCO tab, with a TIME decision: Tolerate, Invest, Migrate or Eliminate.
- Add cost items (recurring or one-off, by cost category) to build total cost of ownership; a chart shows TCO over time.
- Portfolio & TCO places every assessed application by business fit and technical fit, sized by cost and coloured by TIME. Filter by scenario.
Risk
Risk assessments rate an application against your risk types (configurable in APM+ settings → Lookups), with a chart of its risk rating over time.
Findings
APM+ checks the portfolio daily (or Rebuild now) and raises findings by severity:
- Capability overlap: three or more applications supporting the same capability.
- Vendor concentration: a large share of applications from one vendor.
- End-of-support exposure: applications on components nearing or past end of support.
- Tech stack duplication: many applications built on overlapping components.
- Licence waste: licences that look unused or unowned.
- Stale records: records whose freshness has dropped low.
Dismiss a finding that doesn't apply (with a note); it stays dismissed unless the situation changes.
Diagrams
Interactive diagrams of application interactions, the capability map, thetech stack and vendor footprint, filtered by lifecycle status or scenario. Each application also has a context diagram of its direct neighbours on its Interactions tab.
Scenarios
A scenario is a set of applications, for example today's portfolio and a target state. Compare two scenarios to see what's added, removed and kept, grouped by the business services the applications support (or by top-level capability when none have services).
AI suggestions
- Weekly, APM+ looks for likely duplicate applications and vendors, and capability mappings for applications without capabilities. Run now starts it straight away.
- Nothing changes until a person accepts a suggestion; rejected ones aren't suggested again.
- Suggestions use Atlassian's Forge LLM service, so no data leaves Atlassian. A Jira admin can switch them off in APM+ settings.
