# Portfolio Assessment Methodologies
Learn about the key assessment methodologies that help you evaluate and optimize your application portfolio.
Portfolio assessments help organizations maximize the value of their IT investments. By systematically evaluating IT assets, businesses can make informed decisions, optimize resource allocation, reduce risks, and ensure alignment with strategic goals. SAP LeanIX supports three proven frameworks: Gartner® TIME, 6R, and Pace Layering. These frameworks help organizations navigate rationalization, modernization, and cloud migration confidently:
  * [Gartner® TIME Framework](https://help.sap.com/docs/leanix/ea/time?locale=en-US&state=PRODUCTION&version=CLOUD): A structured approach for evaluating an organization's IT portfolio by categorizing applications into four groups: Tolerate, Invest, Migrate, and Eliminate. This methodology helps you make informed decisions about your IT investments by assessing the current state and future potential of your applications.
  * [6R Framework](https://help.sap.com/docs/leanix/ea/6r?locale=en-US&state=PRODUCTION&version=CLOUD): Guides enterprises through the process of cloud migration. It categorizes applications into six categories: Rehost, Refactor, Rearchitect, Rebuild, Replace, and Retire. This framework helps you determine the ideal strategy for each application in your portfolio, ensuring a smooth transition to the cloud.
  * [Pace Layering Framework](https://help.sap.com/docs/leanix/ea/pace-layering?locale=en-US&state=PRODUCTION&version=CLOUD): Segments an organization's business capabilities into three layers based on the rate of change: Systems of Record, Systems of Differentiation, and Systems of Innovation. This approach helps you manage your IT portfolio more effectively by tailoring strategies to the pace of change required for each layer.
