Application Dependency Map Template
Mapping application dependencies, identifying critical paths, and assessing coupling risks
The Application Dependency Map template provides a structured approach to mapping application dependencies, identifying critical paths, and assessing coupling risks.
Template Sections
This template includes 7 sections.
Overview
Describe the scope of applications covered, the types of dependencies tracked (runtime, data, configuration), and how...
Application Dependency Graph
Graph Diagram section
Dependency Matrix
Tabular view of application-to-application dependencies with dependency type (runtime, data, configuration) and...
Core Application Roles
Document the responsibilities of the most critical applications in the dependency chain
Single Points of Failure
Identify applications that represent single points of failure and the impact of their unavailability
Change Impact Assessment
Document how changes to key applications ripple through the dependency chain
Critical Dependency Chains
Describe the critical dependency chains where a failure would cause cascading impact
