| Phase A - Architecture Vision Capability Based Planning (2/2) | It frames all phases of the architecture development in the context of business outcomes, clearly linking the IT visión, architectures (ABBs and SBBs), and the Implementation and Migration Plans with the corporate strategic, business, and line of business plans. |

|
| Phase A - Architecture Vision Capability Based Planning Capabilities Derived (1/2) | Capabilities are directly derived from the corporate strategic plan. They must satisfy the enterprise goals, objectives, and strategies. Most orgs. will also have an annual business plan. |
| Phase A - Architecture Vision Capability Based Planning Capabilities Derived (2/2) | All of the arch. will be expressed in terms of business outcomes and value. • PA: corporate strategic direction drive this • Ps B, C & D: specific capabilities must be targeted for completion. • PE: capability increments must drive this |
