What UrbaHive maps
Your processes, capabilities, applications and servers sit on one map, in four layers. People run across all of them.
The links between the layers are what make the map useful: they show what a change touches.
Read What UrbaHive is →Four layers, from business to technical, with people across all of them.
Build your first map
Some elements need others: an application needs a program, and a flow needs two applications and a flow type.
In this order, each element you create finds the ones it needs. The Quick Start page in the app tracks the first steps.
