12.13.1.2 Create a Capability

A Capability is an EPC object that represents what the business supports and/or offers. It provides insights about the Business Value, Technical Health, Importance to Strategy and Competitive Positioning of the business product, service, etc. With the SWOT Analysis, the users can see the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats of the Capability, to better understand how to change/improve the capability for the better. The Maturity level can let users know about the target dates of the next maturity level so that they can plan/prioritize for that upgrade.

Web Modelers can create Rules on the WebApp and organize them within Capability Sets

For instructions on how to create a new Capability, see the Create Objects section.
