The included elements of driver, metric, and goal describe what motivates the business strategy. Additionally, the inclusion of resource in the viewpoint gives the complete picture of how the business strategy is realized through capabilities and resources. It can also be used to show which resources are required to implement a certain strategy, therefore it will be used when considering the planning of capability implementation. This viewpoint is on a higher abstraction level (from more concrete to more abstract) by connecting the capabilities with the business strategy. Table 19 describes the various characteristics of the viewpoint.

Thus, this viewpoint is on a lower abstraction level (from more abstract to more concrete) and it will be used when considering the engineering of capabilities, through consequent plateaus and transition architectures. It also expresses the relationship of the new elements with the existing ArchiMate ones. Table 20 describes the various characteristics of the viewpoint.

It aims to fill the gap between the Capability Realization Viewpoint and how increments are being assigned a target value and assessed based on that value, resulting from an assessment. In that sense, it sits on a lower level of abstraction from the previous viewpoint. Table 21 describes its various characteristics.

Demonstration of the method The goal of this chapter is to demonstrate how the suggested method for capability-based planning can be applied in practice, using the case of ArchiSurance. The ArchiSurance case study is a fictitious example developed by (Jonkers et al. 2012) to illustrate the use of ArchiMate in the context of TOGAF to resolve issues related to integration and alignment of ArchiSurance’s business processes and information systems. It is being used throughout accredited ArchiMate training courses and as the context for the ArchiMate certification examinations. Here, for the purpose of this thesis, we will take the company through the entire capability-based planning process, applying every step of the method. With the help of the capability-based planning method, ArchiSurance can on one hand effectively face some of the challenges ensuing from mergers and on the other become a competitive force in the insurance market. 7.
