The longevity of the capabilities allows this model to outline the alignment between the strategy and business layer and the components that support them. The business capability model can also be used as an analysis tool for capability-based planning where a heatmap can be applied to highlight current and target assessment in terms of criticality, maturity and dimension scoring. In that regard, the capability dashboard offers to zoom into a specific capability to understand it through its 3 dimensional elements (Business Processes, People and Technology) and how these are planned to evolve during the capability increments.
