Know your IT portfolio with business questions

Alfabet FastLane provides answers to the most important business-relevant questions in order to help you know where to focus change efforts to execute your company's strategy.

Business questions are out-of-the-box visualizations that provide answers about the as-is state of your application and technology portfolios. Each business question includes analytics that provide answers to your most critical issues as well as views that allow you to maintain the relevant data.

Business questions are available in the left navigation panel below Business Questions. For each business question, you can click:

  • the Analysis button to show the analytics,
  • the Data Source button to open the data workbench to capture new data, update missing information, or change inaccurate data, and
  • the Data Quality button to open an overview of data quality issues found for the data the analysis is based on. If the data quality analysis warns about inaccurate data, the analysis for the business question is not reliable. To fix the data quality issues, you can click the resolution links provided in the Pending Data Quality Fixes per Rule view to open the editor or view for fixing the data quality issue.

The business questions are structured in discrete groups so that you can quickly get to the information you need.
