Capability Modeling and Analysis is a Requirements Analysis technique that facilitates the translation of business/mission and technical requirements into discrete capabilities that lend themselves to sharing and reuse analysis (Shared-First). By casting requirements as capabilities at various levels of abstraction (meaning they may be decomposed into more detailed capabilities) and with capability dependencies modeled, the commonality across requirements is more obvious than with standard requirements analysis or business process analysis techniques. Within the context of the FEA Reference Models, capability requirements can be associated with elements and categories of the BRM for functional capabilities, the ARM for back-office and software support capabilities, and the IRM for infrastructure capabilities.
