Capability mapping and heat map

Maps a list of applications, products or team responsibilities onto business capabilities, flags the ambiguous ones, and fills a heat-map CSV.

What you get

A capability heat map (template TM-20) with every item placed at the right level, ids kept for re-import, and a list of what could not be placed.

How I use it

  • Written for the Blueprint Catalog, my free capability catalog; every path, tool and id it names is checked against each catalog build.
  • Searches by what an item does, not its product name, and warns against capabilities named after applications or the org chart.
  • capability map
  • application portfolio
  • heat map
  • CMDB
