Strategic - Connectivity

Creating a Capability dependencies matrix

The Connectivity aspect of the Strategic view helps UAF Architects to define and analyze Capability Dependencies.

A Capability Dependency is a relationship which asserts that a dependent Capability depends upon a needed capability in the context of a capability dependency owner, with respect to its needed effect (business outcome).

Capability dependencies matrix

This page lists Capability Dependencies together with the following information:

• dependency owner

The dependency owner corresponds to the parent capability (as opposed to the capability components of this capability). It can be a Capability map.

• capabilities

• dependent capability

• required capability

• effects

• dependent effect

• required effect

The effect is the business outcome required or desired by a capability.

The name of the dependency is a combination of the name of the dependent capability and of the required capability. For example, [Detection -> Observation]. You cannot change it.
