Impact analysis feature enables us to easily visualize the impact of change
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable features for us are impact analysis, where I can easily visualize the impact of change."
  • "I feel that the UML drawing capability needs to be improved."

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use case is to develop industry models to support our consulting business.

How has it helped my organization?

This solution helped to jump start our EA (Enterprise architecture) and BPM practices.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features for us are impact analysis, where I can easily visualize the impact of change.

What needs improvement?

I feel that the UML drawing capability needs to be improved. 

EA Agile only support ArchiMate and BPMN drawing. It does not support UML notation and can only import UML drawing prepared in other platform as graph object. It'll be much better if it can suppory natively all UML notation and standard.
