Capability Classification¶

Why This Exists¶

This document defines the classification scheme for the Business Capability Catalogue.

Classification makes capabilities findable, governable, and comparable across Practices and Digital Professionals.

Owner¶

The owner is the Chief Product Officer and Enterprise Architect.

Each Practice owns classification accuracy for its capabilities.

Business Value¶
