Capability Viewpoint 

Type - Term
Description: The Capability Viewpoint (CV) captures the enterprise goals associated with the overall vision for executing a specified course of action, or the ability to achieve a desired effect under specific standards and conditions through combinations of means and ways to perform a set of tasks. It provides a strategic context for the capabilities described in an Architectural Description, and an accompanying high-level scope, more general than the scenario-based scope defined in an operational concept diagram. The models are highlevel and describe capabilities using terminology, which is easily understood by decision makers and used for communicating a strategic vision regarding capability evolution.
