Business impact and complexity can be associated with specifications to more successfully define the scope of your project and track implementation progress against specific business objectives.

Business impact indicates the relative value achieved by implementing a specification; complexity indicates the estimated level of effort to implement the specification. You assign these criteria a value of high, medium, or low.

New fields for specifying the business impact and complexity of a specification

The Business impact optimization dashboard on the Analysis tab of the Application Profile landing page provides a visual representation of the following information:

• Specification counts by complexity and business impact
• Implementation progress of specifications that are linked to business objectives

You can filter the information by release and iteration.
