A More Confident Path to Prioritization

Most organizations already have capability maps, but they're stuck in static files, disconnected from real decisions. Because of that, gaps stay invisible, priorities drift, and investments are influenced by opinion rather than evidence.

Capability Based Planning helps you build a living model of capability health. Instead of relying on gut feel or loudest opinion, stakeholders see where attention is genuinely needed.

Get Visibility Into the Health Of Your Business Capabilities

Evaluate the capabilities you already have - not at a concept level, but based on their real performance. With Lite or Full assessments, you understand capability quality through human evaluation, but presented as objective, comparable scores.

Help Stakeholders Prioritise the Work That Matters Most

Teams often work hard, but not always on the capabilities that matter most. Capability Based Planning provides a shared picture of what’s broken and where fixing something creates the biggest payoff.

Track Change and Prove Improvement Over Time

When improvements happen, you can re-assess capabilities to show measurable progress, increased capability maturity, and real business impact.

This removes uncertainty and gives leadership proof, not promises, that improvements worked.

  • At its core, Capability Based Planning answers a fundamental question: which capabilities require investment, and what specific enhancements will deliver the greatest strategic value?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Capability-based planning is a planning approach that focuses on what the business must be able to do (its capabilities) rather than what systems, projects, or technologies are being delivered. It starts from business outcomes and evaluates how prepared each capability is to support them.

It is an out-of-the-box solution that helps organizations assess business capability health, identify gaps, and turn those gaps into prioritized, evidence-based improvement plans within your enterprise architecture landscape.

Spreadsheets and slide decks quickly go out of date and sit disconnected from real systems and initiatives. Ardoq keeps capabilities live and connected to applications, technology, processes, risks, and projects. You can see where weaknesses are, why they exist, and how planned work will improve them — all in one place.

That’s a great starting point. You can import or map your existing capability model into Ardoq, then layer on assessments, ownership, and connections to applications. The solution helps you move from “we have a capability map” to “we are actively improving capabilities and can prove it.”

It is designed for Enterprise Architects, capability owners, transformation and portfolio leaders, and CIOs who need a defensible, shared view of where to invest. It supports teams that are tired of opinion-driven prioritization and want decisions backed by clear capability evidence.

  • Clearer Priorities – know which capabilities need attention now and why.
  • Better Alignment – business and IT use the same view to agree on investments.
  • Defensible Decisions – investment choices are backed by exposure scores and traceable data.
  • Visible Progress – track capability maturity and improvements over time, not just once a year.
