Risk, controls, and governance
Connect risks and controls to the processes, systems, suppliers, and obligations they govern.
Use cases
Start with the problem.
Build the model you need.
Planalyze helps teams turn scattered information into a connected view of what matters — so they can plan change, compare options, and explain decisions clearly.
Real questions, connected answers
What are you trying to understand?
You do not need to begin with a modelling discipline or a perfect data set. Begin with a decision, build enough structure to explore it, and extend the same model as the questions grow.
- Strategy and investment
Are we funding the work that moves our strategy?
Connect goals, measures, initiatives, products, and investment so the portfolio can be discussed as one story.
See the example - Business transformation
What needs to change across the business?
Relate capabilities, initiatives, processes, teams, and systems to understand where change must come together.
See the example - Application portfolio
Where should we invest, modernise, or retire?
Bring cost, fit, health, criticality, and dependencies into the same analysis instead of reconciling separate files.
See the example - Architecture change
What depends on this, and what happens if it changes?
Move from the landscape into the detail while keeping systems, services, components, and relationships connected.
See the example
01 Strategy and investment
Which work will actually move the strategy?
Connect strategic goals to measures, initiatives, products, owners, and investment. Trace why work exists, see where money is going, and keep plans tied to the outcomes they are meant to change.
- Which initiatives support this goal?
- Where is investment ahead of — or behind — the plan?
- Which outcomes have no work behind them?
02 Business transformation
What has to change across the business?
A transformation rarely belongs to one team or system. Model the capabilities you need, the initiatives improving them, and the processes, applications, information, and people that make them real.
- Which capabilities matter most to the change?
- Where do several initiatives compete for the same people or systems?
- What else is affected if this capability changes?
03 Application portfolio
Where should we invest, modernise, or retire?
Bring cost, functional fit, technical health, lifecycle, criticality, ownership, and dependencies together. Use different views of the same portfolio to find candidates, then follow the connections before deciding.
- Which high-cost applications are a poor fit?
- What business capabilities depend on a retirement candidate?
- Where are several systems doing the same job?
04 Architecture change
What depends on this — and what happens if it changes?
Move from enterprise and application landscapes into C4-style context, container, and component views. Keep the detail connected to the systems, capabilities, risks, and initiatives around it.
- What consumes this service or component?
- Which business change depends on this architecture?
- Who needs to be involved before it is replaced?
More perspectives from the model
Different problems need different views.
Use familiar architecture notation when the technology matters. Use time-based analysis when the problem is how work flows.
05 Cloud architecture
Plan a cloud change without losing the dependencies.
Model workloads and the services they use, with the provider icons architects recognise. Connect environment, region, ownership, criticality, and cost to the architecture instead of leaving them in a separate inventory.
- Which resources belong to this workload?
- What must move together during a migration?
- Where are cost, ownership, or criticality concentrated?
This fictional Azure example uses official service icons. Planalyze also includes AWS and Google Cloud templates.
06 Value-stream improvement
See where work waits — not just where it goes.
Build the current and future states from the same connected flow. The timeline separates active work from waiting and draws both to scale, so the improvement conversation is grounded in elapsed time rather than the number of boxes on a process map.
Current state22.3 days
5.7% activity ratio
Future state2.7 days
28.7% activity ratio
Same demand. Same model. A different flow. Lead time falls from 22.3 to 2.7 days, largely by reducing waiting between steps.
And much more
The model can start wherever the problem starts.
Use an established approach as a starting point, combine business and technology concepts, or define your own modelling language.
Operating models
Bring organisation, capabilities, locations, information, and technology into a shared view.
Products and platforms
Understand product portfolios and the shared platforms, teams, services, and investments behind them.
Your own problem
Define the concepts and relationships that fit the work, rather than forcing it into a preset framework.
Use the information you already have
Turn documents and spreadsheets into a model you can work with.
Bring annual reports, strategy documents, spreadsheet data, or a description of the problem. Work with AI to identify useful concepts, build the model, connect the information, and keep developing it as new questions emerge.
