Retire Digital Product Scenario

The trigger for this scenario is a Scope Agreement and an initial budget allocation that incorporates Portfolio Backlog Items for retiring a Digital Product. The outcome is a decommissioned Digital Product. The scope includes activities to mitigate negative effects on consumers, impacts to dependencies, the re-allocation of resources, and the archival of data. Reasons for retirement may be driven based on technology debt, cost, duplication in the environment, lack of interest or use, or other valid reasons to no longer maintain a Digital Product. It is important to retire Digital Products that are no longer in use to reduce the complexity of technical environments.
