• From a Capability: right-click the Capability, point to New, point to MODAF, and then click Capability.
• From an AcV-2 Project Activity Hierarchy, OV-2 Operational Node Definition, OV-4 Typical Organizational Relationships Chart, OV-5 Operational Activity Hierarchy, StV-1 Enterprise Vision, StV-2 Capability Taxonomy, StV-6 Operational Activity to Capability Mapping, SV-1 Resource Definition, SV-4 Functionality Hierarchy, SV-5 Function to Operational Activity/Service Function Definition or SV-9 Technology and Skills Forecast Definition: click the Capability button, and then click in free space on the diagram.

Relationships
The following relationships are of importance to a Capability:
• Generalization relationships to define inheritance (StV-2 Capability Taxonomy).
• Exhibits relationships link a Capability to elements that exhibit that Capability.
• Expose relationships link a Capability to Service Interface elements that are exposed by that Capability.
• Forecast relationships link a Capability to forecasted future Capability elements.
• Maps To Capability relationships link a Capability to Function, Operational Activity, Standard Operational Activity and Project Activity elements that map to that Capability.
The following sections provide information about how a Capability is used in the model.
