Business Capabilities Reports
Some reports enable you to analyze the business capabilities of your repository according to different perspectives.
*For detailed information on reports, see Generating Reports.
Business Capability Breakdown Report
You can use a breakdown report to view:
• the objects that make up a business capability map
• the realization of capabilities by EA equipment
*For more details on the use of a breakdown report, see Handling a Breakdown Report.
Business Capability Coverage over Time
This breakdown report provides a temporal representation of the elements that make up a business capability map and the applications or application systems that cover them.
Applications are analyzed according to various possible criteria. A timeline shows their evolution over several years.
Two different report views are available:
• Capabilities Time analysis: a treemap displays the various business capabilities and the applications that cover them.
• Criteria Time Analysis: a table displays the values of the selected indicators according to the dates indicated.
Business Capabilities Tree Map
This report displays capabilities as a treemap. Each capability is represented by a rectangle.
The size of each rectangle:
• is determined based on all the capabilities and sub-capabilities displayed on the treemap.
• varies according to one of the following three criteria:
• Number of components: The size of the capability is proportional to the number of sub-capabilities linked to it.
*Intermediate capabilities (non-leaf nodes in the tree) are also taken into account.
• Application ratio: the size is proportional to the number of applications that support the capability and its sub-capabilities.
• Application cost: The size is proportional to the total cost of the applications that support the capability and its sub-capabilities.
*For more information on the use of a Treemap, see Handling a Treemap.
Take note that:
• An application can support multiple capabilities. In this case, the "Cost Contribution Key" ratio is applied to the "Application ratio" and "Application cost" criteria.
*The Cost Contribution Key represents the contribution percentage of an application to a business capability.The cost contribution key value is defined in the application's properties for each business capability it supports. See Defining the contribution of an application to a business capability.
• An application that supports an intermediate capability is considered to support all its sub-capabilities, with its contribution distributed evenly among them.
