Technology Obsolescence Risk Views in Reports

Obsolescence Risk Views

Technology Risk and Compliance offers additional obsolescence views in reports to help analyze and monitor obsolescence risks better.

• Obsolescence: Missing Data Percentage
• Obsolescence: Mitigated Risk Percentage
• Obsolescence: Unaddressed Risk Percentage View

Leveraging these views and other powerful reporting features, organizations can comprehensively analyze technology obsolescence risks, prioritize them, and manage them effectively.

📘

These views are available in landscape, matrix, roadmap, and radar reports. Additionally, they can be used in portfolio reports as axis definitions and not as a view.

Missing Data Percentage

The missing data percentage view analyzes applications lacking lifecycle information, displaying the percentage of IT components supporting each application without such data. It helps you identify gaps in available information critical for risk evaluation, enabling data completion efforts.

Mitigated Risk Percentage

The mitigated risk percentage view lets you track your progress in mitigating risks at the application level. It shows the percentage of IT components supporting each application with Risk Accepted or Risk Addressed statuses in the Obsolescence Risk Status field of the fact sheet. It helps you assess to what extent you have addressed and reduced risks.

• Risk Accepted status indicates situations where you acknowledge the risks of outdated software or hardware as low and acceptable despite their persistence. This could apply to certain environments, such as testing or legacy systems.

• Risk Addressed status indicates that the obsolescence risk was deemed unacceptable, and you are taking required actions, such as technology upgrades, migrating to another application or IT component, sunsetting the application, and so on.

  

As a best practice, you would aim for 100% coverage of risk accepted or risk addressed to comprehensively manage risk across your application portfolio.

Unaddressed Risk Percentage

The unaddressed risk percentage view helps prioritize and tackle risks that still require attention. This view visualizes the percentage of IT components supporting each application with lifecycle information in Phase Out or End Of Life.
