2. Select Project Impact Diagram.
The diagram opens in a new window.
A project impact diagram can be presented as below.
The "Equipment Purchasing" application is the main application impacted by the project, in particular for improvement of its access portal.
The "Equipment Purchasing" application used the "Inventory Management" application to consult and update information on spare parts stock levels. It also uses the "Purchasing Management" application with the "Catalog" database to send a purchase order.
The "Maintenance and Repair Management" and the "Spare Parts Management" applications will also use the "Equipment Purchasing" application portal.
Finally, the "Purchase Request" entity is accessed on creation, read-only, read/write and deletion by this application.
If the process does not have a diagram, you can create it. For more details, see "Building an Impact Diagram".
