| <h1 class="topictitle1">Capability Pattern</h1> |
| <div><p>A Capability pattern is a special process that describes a reusable cluster |
| of activities in common process areas. Capability patterns express and communicate |
| process knowledge for a key area of interest such as a discipline and can |
| be directly used by a process practitioner to guide his work. Capability patterns |
| are also used as building blocks to assemble Delivery processes or larger |
| capability patterns ensuring optimal reuse and application of the key practices |
| they express.</p> |
| <p>Examples of a capability pattern could be "use case-based requirements |
| management", "use case analysis", or "unit testing". Typically, but not necessarily, |
| capability patterns have the scope of one discipline providing a breakdown |
| of reusable complex activities, relationships to the roles which perform tasks |
| within these activities, as well as to the work products that are used and |
| produced. A capability pattern does not relate to any specific |
| phase or iteration of a development lifecycle, and should not imply any. In |
| other words, a pattern should be designed in a way that it is applicable anywhere |
| in a delivery process. thereby enabling its activities to be flexibly assigned |
| to whatever phases there are in the delivery process to which it is being |
| applied.</p> |
