The SAP Leanix data model defines standard attributes for each Fact Sheet type to support Enterprise Architecture management. For the Application Fact Sheet, Business Criticality, Lifecycle, and Functional Fit are core, out-of-the-box attributes. These are fundamental for Application Portfolio Management (APM), enabling architects to assess an application's importance to the business, its current stage of life (e.g., active, end-of-life), and how well it meets user requirements. These attributes are crucial for making informed decisions about application investment, rationalization, and risk management.

A. Objective: "Objective" is not a standard attribute of an Application Fact Sheet. It is more commonly associated with a Project Fact Sheet, which details the goals and aims of a specific initiative.

B. Information: "Information" is too generic. In the SAP Leanix model, applications are linked to Data Object Fact Sheets, which represent the specific business information or data that the application creates, uses, or processes.

Fact Sheet & Relation Types: The official documentation outlines the standard data model. The "Application" Fact Sheet section explicitly details attributes for assessment

including Business Criticality and Functional Fit. The Lifecycle is also described as a fundamental

built-in attribute for all Fact Sheets

with specific relevance to applications. (Refer to the "Application" subsection under "Fact Sheet Types").

"The Leanix Enterprise Architecture Data Model" (Poster): This official vendor resource visually represents the standard Fact Sheet types and their key fields. The "Application" Fact Sheet clearly depicts fields for Business Criticality

Functional Fit

and the Lifecycle phases.

"Application Portfolio Management" Documentation: This documentation explains how to use SAP Leanix for APM. It highlights the use of Functional Fit

Business Criticality

and Lifecycle information as the primary data points for creating reports and views (e.g.

Application Portfolio matrix) to drive rationalization decisions. (Refer to sections on "Conducting Application Assessments").
