City plan
City planning consists of grouping the different applications used in the information system into "city planning blocks" of similar functionality.
Several grouping strategies can be defined. It is therefore possible to define several city plans describing the information system from different points of view.
City planning is the splitting of the information system according to a particular criterion. This splitting can be by main enterprise functions, by origin of applications as the result of a merger, by type of system environment or by any other criterion pertinent to the context of the enterprise.Creating a City Plan
