Capability Management Module

Functionality

EPC has added the optional Capability module to users, this module enables companies to represent a high-level view of their organization from the perspective of business capabilities that, in essence, briefly describe everything their organization can do.

While EPC’s core module, the Process module, defines “how” things are done, the Capability module is used to define “what” the company does at its core.

Business Capability is the expression or articulation of the capacity, materials, and expertise that an organization needs to perform core functions. Enterprise architects use business capabilities to illustrate overall business needs in order to better strategize IT solutions that meet those business needs. Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) is a process and behavioral model that helps organizations streamline process improvement and encourage productive and efficient behaviors that decrease risks in software, product, and service development.

Capability has the same page layout as the other modules in EPC, tabs LIST, GRAPH, and DETAILS are available.
