StV-6 – Standard Operational Activities to Capability Mapping

Download PDF

The StV-6 specifies standard (e.g. doctrinal) operational activities and optionally traces them to the capabilities they support.

Some processes are standard across the whole enterprise, or even more than one enterprise. The StV-6 specifies Standard Operational Activities that can be re-used across multiple logical architectures (i.e. the MODAF Operational Viewpoints).

An StV-6 can also show which capabilities the standard operational activities support

Usage

The intended usage of the StV-6 includes:

  • Specification of doctrine
  • Tracing capabilities to enduring tasks.
  • Tracing capabilities to standard operational activities
  • Capability audit.

Product Description

The StV-6 view specifies the Standard Operational Activities, and the enduring tasks and capabilities they support.

It is created with the Strategic Architecture (i.e. before the creation of supporting Operational Views), and will consist of a library of pre-defined functions taken from Doctrine. Consequently, the OV-5, Operation Activity Model, should contain activities that are generalisations of the Standard Operational Activities from the StV-6.

The StV-6 is shown in the form of a table, optionally listing the supported capabilities and enduring tasks.

Creating a Standard Operational Activity to Capability Mapping table

To create a Standard Operational Activity to Capability Mapping table:

  1. Click on Standard Operational Activity to Capability Mapping in the Action Artifact area, and then select Create New Diagram.
  2. Type the diagram name and press Enter.
  3. Create a new row of StandardOperationalActivity by clicking New Activity above the table.
  4. Select the Capabilities supported by the StandardOperationalActivity. Capabilities are defined in StV-2.
  5. Select the EnduringTasks supported by the StandardOperationalActivity. EnduringTasks are defined in StV-1.
