These risks fall into the usual business categories:

.5 Strategic Planning
Business capabilities for the current state and future state of an enterprise can be
used to determine where that enterprise needs to go in order to accomplish its
strategy. A business capability assessment can produce a set of recommendations
or proposals for solutions. This information forms the basis of a product roadmap
and serves as a guide for release planning. At the strategic level, capabilities
should support an enterprise in establishing and maintaining a sustainable
competitive advantage and a distinct value proposition.

Capability maps provide a graphical view of elements involved in business
capability analysis. The following examples demonstrate one element of a
capability map that would be part of a larger capabilities grid.
There is no set standard for the notation of capabilities maps. The following
images show two different methods for creating a capability map. The first two
images are the first example and the third image is the second example.
