The Business Value Decision Quadrant is aimed to identify those applications in your portfolio that require immediate action based on their criticality for the business and their exposure to any of the risks you risks you are facing:
- Global Risk (Risk index),
- Failure Probability (Production Risk),
- Maintenance (Development Risk) and
- Security Risk.
The Business chart Widget Chart widget graphically displays a quadrant where apps (or groups of apps) are placed according to Business Value (Y-Axis).

- Maintenance Risk
- Security Risk
Please , visit Decision quadrants for an explanation of different Risk indexes.
Points in the displayed graphic can be customized (by Group by selector) to represent:
- Individual applications applications (setting Group By to “Not grouped”“Not grouped”)
- Groups of applications applications (grouped by any of the available portfolios in Group by selector)
Additionally, every point has has two main characteristics:
- Diameter Diameter (proportional to size in to size in Locs)
- Color (the portfolio value the Color (the portfolio value the app belongs to. Please note that this option is only available when Color by selector has been set to any to the available portfolios)
Production Chart
The Production Chart widget includes a Production a Production Decision Quadrant in Quadrant in your report.
The Production Quadrant is aimed to aimed to identify those applications in your portfolio that could cause problems in production, and if they will be able to recover from these errors easily.
The applications with higher exposure to this kind of risk will be those in the upper-right area of the quadrant.
Image Modified
The Vertical (Y) axis represents Failure represents Failure Probability. This indicates if applications are likely to provoke frequent errors in production. Applications with high Failure Probability could be a problem in the short term.
The Horizontal (X) axis represents the application’s the application’s Complexity, a normalized (between 0 and 100) metric based on applications’ cyclomatic complexity by function, duplication of code and maintainability index.
Production chart Widget graphically displays a quadrant where apps (or groups of apps) are placed according to the above-mentioned axis.
Please , visit Decision quadrants for an explanation.
Points in the displayed graphic can be customized (by Group by selector) to represent:

Image Modified
In the The vertical axis , we represent the Maintenance represents the Maintenance Risk: this indicates if applications’ maintenance costs are going to be higher than expected, or if it is going to be complex and costly to add new functionality to them. It is based on the evidence gathered from the code for the maintainability index.
In the The horizontal axis , we represent represents the application Complexity, : a normalized (between 0 and 100) metric based on applications’ cyclomatic complexity by function, duplication of code and maintainability index.
The Development chart Widget graphically displays a quadrant where apps (or groups of apps) are placed according to the above-mentioned axis.
