The 10 principles that will help you define your business capabilities are:

1. Capabilities define what a business does, not how a business does something.

2. Capabilities are nouns, not verbs.

3. Capabilities are defined in business terms, not technical terms.

4. Capabilities are stable, not volatile.

5. Capabilities are not redundant.

6. There is one capability map for a business.

7. Capabilities map to, but are not the same as, a line of business, business unit, business process, or value stream.

8. Capabilities have relationships to IT deployments and future-state IT architecture.

9. Automated capabilities are still business capabilities -- not IT capabilities.

10. Capabilities are of most value when incorporated into a larger view of an enterprise's ecosystem.
