Collaborative Validation

Capability Mapping

Decompose use cases into the business capabilities that power them

Capability Mapping helps teams break down each use case into the fundamental business capabilities required to deliver it. Define what the business must do, why it matters, who the stakeholders are, and where the pain points and opportunities live. The result is a clear capability model that bridges strategy and execution.
