Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.<br /><br />I don't know who originated the concept of "business capability". I was writing articles for the CBDI Journal about capability before I saw the Microsoft material, but I can't remember where I saw it first. The MODAF/DoDAF approach to capability is significantly different from the Microsoft approach, and does include a capability dependency diagram.

When a clock is broken it doesn't function but it still has the capability to show the time with a certain level of useful precision. When the clock is fixed this capability becomes actuality. <br /><br />(BTW, I'm not sure if the idea of "business capability" appeared first in referred Microsoft works or in DoDAF but that doesn't really matter) Ivohttp://www.strategicstructures.comnoreply@blogger.com
