How easy it is to use the information in a modelling tool is very important and dependent upon the complexity and volume of the information. Here we compare how easy it is to use the information in the model as its complexity and volume increases.

While complexity and volume is low, the ability to use the information is easier for the Visio based approaches.. The Custom Tool is slightly lower due to the extra complexities of its user interface and the functions available. This is one of the reasons why many Enterprises utilise a Visio based approach. The problem is that very quickly the Visio based approaches become unusable.

Keypoint

Adopt this component by...

As the complexity and volume of information grows, the ability to use the information can quickly become impossible unless a custom EA modelling tool is used.

Questions to ponder...

How easily can you currently use the information in your EA Modelling Tool?

What is the current level of complexity/volume of information it contains?

What will the level of complexity/volume of information be in 1 year? 2 years? 5 years?

How will the ease of using the information change over time?
