Application Portfolio Rationalization at a Global Bank
Overview
What this challenge is about.
Receive a CMDB extract of 412 applications with cost, technology stack, business owner, and usage telemetry (anonymized). Score each application on business value (revenue contribution, regulatory mandate, user count, strategic fit) and technical health (security posture, vendor support, integration debt). Plot on a 2x2 matrix, classify under TIME, and identify the top 60 elimination/migration candidates. Build a 2-year decommissioning roadmap with quarterly milestones, savings projections, and risk register. Deliver a 16-page analysis, the scoring sheet, the roadmap, and a steering-committee deck.
