StV-3 – Capability Phasing

Download PDF

The StV-3 provides a representation of the actual or estimated availability of capabilities over a period of time (derived from capability delivery milestones in acquisition projects).

StV-3 Views support the Capability Audit process and similar processes used across different communities of interest by providing a method to identify gaps or duplication in capability provision.

The view indicates capability increments, which are derived from delivery milestones within acquisition projects.

Usage

The intended usage of the StV-3 includes:

  • Capability planning (capability phasing).
  • Capability integration planning.
  • Capability gap analysis.
  • High-level dashboard for acquisition management.

Product Description

The StV-3 is a timeline that shows the available capability levels at different points in time or during specific periods of time (associated with the Enterprise Phases – see StV-1, Enterprise Vision).

The StV-3 lists capabilities on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis. Active capability configurations are shown as bars against the capabilities they provide, with the start and end of the bars corresponding to the capability configuration coming into and going out of service. Where nothing meets a particular capability at a particular time, whitespace is shown so as to highlight capability gaps.

Creating a Capability Phasing table

  1. Click on Capability Phasing in the Action Artifact area, and then select Create New Diagram.
  2. Type the diagram name and press Enter.
  3. This opens a table where you can define the actual or estimated availability of capabilities. Create a new row by clicking New Capability Increment above the table.
  4. Select a Capability. Capabilities are defined in StV-1.
  5. Select a CapabilityConfiguration. CapabilityConfigurations are defined in SV-1.
  6. Set the start and end date.
