Cr — Capability Roadmap

Purpose & Usage

The Cr Viewpoint is concerned with identifying Capability Milestones related to Capability Increments and the Capabilities it delivers.

• Capability Planning.
• Acquisition Management.
• Capability phasing.
• Capability integration planning.
• Capability gap/surplus analysis.
• High- level dashboard for acquisition management.

Scope

• Shall contain Capability Milestones.
• Shall contain the Capability Increments that the Capability Milestone defines.
• Shall contain the Capabilities the Capability Increments delivers.
• May show Enterprise Phases related to Capability Increments.
• May show the ordering and grouping of Enterprise Phases.
• May show Capability Projects and how they schedule Capability Milestones during the evolution of the Capability.
• May trace Capability Configurations to Capabilities.

Representation

• A time based chart in the style of a Gantt chart.

Notes on the Cut-out

Capability Configurations are included to allow for potential traceability to Capability.

Notes on the Example

Milestones are not present in the example since they are properties of the capability increment. This example, similar to other roadmap viewpoints in NAFv4, is how to model the scenario and is important for the understanding of the evolution of the architecture over time and its impact on decisioning. However, the specific representation of the roadmap for the benefit of non -architectural stakeholder readership should be as described in the content of the ‘Representation’ section of this viewpoint definition.
