Job Description

Capability Based Planning - Practitioner

Level - 26/27

The Capability based planning - Practitioner is an individual contributor associated with the Enterprise Architecture Team within the Align Pillar. Working within methods, priorities and governance established by the Capability-Based Planning and Execution Lead, the role gathers evidence,



analyzes capability maturity and develops architecture views that connect business capabilities with processes, information, applications, data, integrations, platforms and enabling technologies.

This role is accountable for the quality, traceability and currency of assigned capability-analysis and architecture artifacts. It does not own the enterprise capability-planning framework, assessment methodology, multi-year planning cycle, investment prioritization, executive alignment, governance decisions or cross-domain execution; those accountabilities remain with the Capability-Based Planning and Execution Lead.

Job Responsibilities

• Apply approved capability maps, value-stream structures, maturity criteria and heatmap conventions to assigned capability areas.

• Gather, validate and document evidence across people, process, technology and data dimensions using assessment criteria defined by the Capability-Based Planning and Execution Lead.

• Map assigned capabilities to supporting processes, applications, data, integrations, infrastructure and technology services, and maintain traceable relationships in the architecture repository.

• Translate approved assessment findings into architecture options, transition views, dependencies and measurable outcome statements for lead and domain-architect review.

• Develop current-state,



target-state and transition architecture views for assigned capability areas using approved standards and templates.

• Analyze maturity evidence to identify capability gaps, root causes, interdependencies and improvement opportunities, and provide findings to inform lead-owned roadmap and investment prioritization.

• Supply validated architecture inputs and dependency information to portfolio and domain teams for incorporation into roadmaps and plans owned by those teams.

• Conduct discovery sessions and working meetings to capture evidence, assumptions, decisions and unresolved questions; escalate matters requiring governance or executive alignment.

• Maintain assigned capability and architecture artifacts in the approved enterprise architecture repository, including relationships, metadata, status and supporting evidence.

• Produce factual maturity and architecture reporting for assigned capabilities, highlighting evidence gaps, dependencies, risks and items requiring lead review.

• Represent Enterprise Architecture in tool, vendor and RFP assessments associated with capability-maturity evolution, evaluating capability fit, architecture alignment, interoperability, data, security, scalability, resilience, lifecycle sustainability and technical risk; document findings and recommendations for the accountable sourcing, domain and governance decision makers.

• Analyze the application, data, integration, security, platform and infrastructure implications of approved capability outcomes with the relevant domain architects.

• Assist in the authoring of enterprise blueprints, reference architectures, and golden paths that standardize the software development lifecycle (SDLC)
