Step 5: Plan AI-Related Transformations

After gaining a comprehensive overview of AI technologies within your IT landscape, the next step is planning AI-related transformations. This involves developing a strategy on how to best integrate and optimize AI technologies within your organization. You can identify areas where AI can be leveraged to transform business capabilities and applications and then create a detailed roadmap for these transformations.

You can track and manage your transformation projects using initiative fact sheets. You can create an initiative fact sheet for each transformation initiative, documenting key information such as the project's objectives, timeline, resources, and associated applications or IT components. To ensure that your transformation projects are aligned with your organization's strategic goals, you can create objective fact sheets for AI-related objectives. For more information about these fact sheet types, see Initiative and Objective.

Within each initiative fact sheet, you can link the project to the relevant applications or IT components. This provides a clear view of which parts of your IT landscape are affected by the transformation and helps coordinate efforts across different parts of your organization.

To visualize your AI-related projects, you can use the Roadmap report, applying filters for specific AI-related objectives. To learn more about this report type, see Roadmap Report.

If your organization uses SAP LeanIX Architecture and Road Map Planning, which is an additional product, you can visualize your transformation projects over time. You can create a roadmap for each transformation initiative, showing when different applications or IT components will be affected. This helps ensure that your transformations are well-planned and coordinated, and that they align with your overall enterprise architecture strategy.
