Capabilities Inventory and Attributes

Technical Attributes for the Capabilities Inventory

Technical attributes capture the architectural and technology characteristics that define how this Capability is enabled by IT systems, architectural patterns, and realization models.

Attribute Name	Maturity	Description and Notes
Key Enabling Technologies [Multi-Value]	Walk	Description — The primary technology types, platforms, or architectural categories that currently enable delivery of this Capability. Benefit(s) — Enables technology-to-capability alignment analysis. Identifies capabilities that are technology-constrained. Source — Manual Examples — ERP (SAP S/4HANA); RPA; AI/ML; Cloud SaaS; Data Warehouse; API Integration Platform Notes — Use technology category names, not product names. Separate multiple values with semicolons.
Architecture Patterns [Multi-Value]	Run	Description — The architectural patterns governing technical design of systems supporting this Capability. Benefit(s) — Enables architectural coherence analysis: are high-priority capabilities supported by modern, scalable architectures? Source — Manual Examples — Microservices; Event-Driven; API-First; Data Mesh; Monolithic (Legacy) Notes — Separate multiple values with semicolons.
Capability Realization Pattern	Walk	Description — The pattern by which the work of this Capability is realized in practice. Benefit(s) — Captures the realization model at a higher level of abstraction than Architecture Patterns. Distinguishes Capabilities delivered by fully automated systems from those delivered manually, by external providers, or by hybrid arrangements. Source — Manual Examples — Internal Automated, Internal Manual, Outsourced, Hybrid, Shared Service Notes — Valid values: Internal Automated │ Internal Manual │ Outsourced │ Hybrid │ Shared Service.
