The StV-4 describes the dependencies between capabilities. StV-4 is intended to provide a means of analysing the dependencies between capabilities, including those within capability compositions (sometimes called “capability clusters”), in order to guide capability management.
Usage
The intended usage of the StV-4 includes:
- Identification of capability dependencies.
- Capability management (impact analysis for options, disposal etc).
Product Description
The StV-4 is a diagram that depicts the dependencies between capabilities. This contrasts with StV-2, Capability Taxonomy, which also deals with relationships between capabilities, but StV-2 only addresses specialisation and composition relationships.
The StV-4 is intended to provide a means of analysing the dependencies between capabilities and between capability clusters. In particular, it will highlight potential integration requirements and the interactions needed between acquisition projects in order to achieve the overall capability.
Creating a Capability Dependencies diagram
- Click on Capability Dependencies in the Action Artifact area, and then select Create New Diagram.
- Type the diagram name and press Enter.
- A blank diagram is created and you can start constructing the view. Reuse Capabilities (recommended) through dragging and dropping them from the Model Explorer. Capabilities are defined in StV-2.
- Connect Capabilities with Dependencies.
- You can optionally model the specialization relationships among Capabilities by drawing Generalizations between them.
