Close the gap between architectural design and transformation execution

In workspaces with SAP LeanIX Architecture and Road Map Planning, we have made improvements across the full target architecture planning journey: from designing the future state, to defining a plan, to governing its execution.

Design & decide

You can now design your target architecture in a dedicated diagram type. Starting from your existing as-is architecture, you add transformations using any transformation template and model the future state of your architectural landscape. You can switch viewing the current state, the changes, and the target state.

Once your design is ready, a guided experience lets you assign transformations to existing or new initiatives in one workflow. You can also generate an AI-assisted architecture decision from the diagram, including a structured description of the planned changes and a list of affected fact sheets.

Plan

In the transformations explorer, transformations originating from diagrams are visually marked so you can trace their source, move them between initiatives, set milestones, jump back to the diagram, and navigate directly to the roadmap report.

Govern

Once your plan is in place, the roadmap report provides an overview to track execution. It now supports visual milestone editing alongside a range of usability improvements, including zoom controls, exact dates on the timeline, currency formatting, and adjustable column widths. In the roadmap and any other report, the side panel now shows all transformations impacting a fact sheet, so you can review, execute, or edit them without leaving the report. The landscape report with the impact view shows which applications and IT components are affected by active initiatives and highlights at-risk transformations.

Architecture decisions for all customers

Architecture decisions are now available in workspaces with SAP LeanIX Application Portfolio Management, extending the feature to all SAP LeanIX customers. For customers with SAP LeanIX Architecture and Road Map Planning, they are more deeply embedded in the diagram and transformation workflow above, including AI-assisted generation with a structured description of changes and affected fact sheets. This is the first release of these target architecture planning capabilities, and we will continue building them out throughout 2026.
