Exploring business capabilities

A business capability is the ability of an organization to do its business activities successfully and fulfill its business goals.

Use the business capability mapping to establish a CI relationship between the business capability and the business applications. Establish a similar relationship between business capabilities and the application technologies to ascertain the risks involved in using them.

As business organizations grow, it’s imperative for an enterprise architect to assess the business capabilities to know how to strengthen the business processes.

From the Portfolio page in Enterprise Architecture Workspace, you can perform the following:

  • Create a business capability
  • View existing business capabilities
  • Add a sub-capability
  • Add architectural artifacts to a business capability

You can also view and add business capabilities and perform a host of other tasks relating to business capabilities, from the Business Portfolio page. For more information, see Exploring a business portfolio.
