Landscape maps
For many years as an Enterprise Architect I have been drawing landscape maps in Visio to communicate the health of a domain's application portfolio. While they are a valuable communication tool, these diagrams are time-consuming, complex to draw and ever-changing. The landscape map visualisation tool at its simplest renders a table, splitting and joining table cells as needed, but also provides functionality to optimise the axes ordering for maximum joined cells. These diagrams conform to the Archimate landscape map viewpoint.
