Value Streams Inventory and Attributes

Applications support the stages of a value stream. The Applications Inventory and Attributes is authoritative for Application records. In the Value Streams Inventory, the Supporting Applications relationship attribute is generally derived: it is computed through the Capabilities a value stream draws upon and the applications that, in the Applications Inventory, are recorded as supporting those Capabilities.

This derived relationship lets an enterprise see which applications underpin which end-to-end flows of value — and therefore which value streams are exposed when an application is unavailable, degraded, or scheduled for replacement. It connects application portfolio decisions to the value delivery they affect.
