According to the TOGAF Series Guide to Business Capabilities (Version 2), a business capability is defined as “a particular ability or capacity that a business may possess or exchange to achieve a specific purpose or outcome” 4. A business capability delineates what a business does without an explanation of how, why, or where the capability is used4. A business capability can be expressed as a verb phrase that indicates what function or service the capability provides4. For example, some possible business capabilities are “Manage Customer Relationships”, “Deliver Products”, or “Perform Financial Analysis”.

Risk Management is the discipline that addresses the identification, assessment, and prioritization of risks followed by coordinated application of resources to minimize, control, and monitor the impact of unfortunate events or to maximize the realization of opportunities. It is about striking a balance between the positive outcomes of opportunities and the negative outcomes of risks, ensuring that the enterprise can achieve its objectives while keeping potential threats under control.

TOGAF defines four core architecture domains: Business, Data, Application, and Technology. These domains collectively represent the key areas covered in enterprise architecture, where the Business Architecture defines business strategy and organizational goals; Data Architecture addresses data management and structure; Application Architecture focuses on system and software applications; and Technology Architecture outlines the IT infrastructure.

Business scenarios are most prominently used in Phase A (Architecture Vision) of the TOGAF ADM. In this phase, they help in discovering and documenting business requirements by providing detailed and realistic descriptions of business situations. Business scenarios help in identifying the key business drivers, goals, and challenges, ensuring that the architecture development is aligned with the actual needs of the business.
