Download PDF

The C3 Viewpoint is intended to provide a means of analyzing the dependencies between capabilities and between capability clusters. The composition of capabilities (into clusters) is logical and the purpose of the clusters is to guide enterprise management.

Usage

The intended usage of the C3 includes:

  • Analysis of dependencies between capabilities and between capability clusters.
  • Impact analysis for capability options, disposal of capabilities.
  • Highlight potential integration requirements and the interactions needed between acquisition projects in order to achieve the overall capability.

Creating a Capability Dependencies diagram

To create a Capability Dependencies diagram:

  1. Click on Capability Dependencies in the Action Artifact area, and then select Create New Diagram.
  2. Type the diagram name and press Enter.
  3. A blank diagram is created and you can start constructing the view. Reuse Capabilities (recommended) through dragging and dropping them from the Model Explorer.
  4. Connect Capabilities with Dependencies.
  5. You can optionally model the specialization relationships among Capabilities by drawing Generalizations between them.
