Application landscape diagrams are very useful tools for describing business and technology constraints within an application portfolio and highlight platforms and systems that are out-of-support, extensively customized, not fit-for-business purpose, costly, process bottlenecks as well as other technology and business constraints and risks. Generally, an enterprise architect will begin the review of an existing application portfolio with a landscape diagram to demonstrate the extent to which an existing application portfolio supports a new organizational strategy or initiative.
