About this task Each business application and business capability have a unique identity as a configuration item (CI). Such a distinction helps to establish a relationship between these independent configuration items. The CI relationship helps to establish a parent-child relationship between business capability and business application, and business application and business capability. The configuration items must be associated to a set of indicators to generate a weighted score for evaluation. Preconfigured indicators such as people, process, and technology are used to assess business capability. Figure 1. Business capability scoring framework The indicator scoring framework also supports scoring of business capability in addition to business application. Within this framework the preconfigured indicators including people, process, and technology, as well as the indicators that you have created, are evaluated to give the indicator scores. For business applications you can create multiple scoring profiles. Each scoring profile can contain multiple indicators. But for capabilities you can create only one scoring profile and not multiple scoring profiles. Procedure Create CI relationships or edit the existing relationships using CI relationships in the CMDB. Relate business capabilities and business applications using the following pre-determined CI relationship types: Table 1. Relationship types Parent Type Child Business Capability Provided By::Provides Business Application Business Application Provides::Provided by Business Capability Note: Both the business capability and the business application are configuration item entities.The parent column of the capabilities table is used to create the capability hierarchy.
