Plans

Plans let you generate comprehensive modernization plans powered by Archie. Describe your priorities, constraints, timeframe, and business goals, and Archie will analyze your architecture and recommendations to produce a structured plan.

Plans let you organize and prioritize your recommendations into actionable roadmaps. You can generate a plan using AI or build one manually.

To create a plan:

1. Navigate to the Plans tab within the Recommendations tab.
2. Click + New Plan.
