A diagram within which you can model TOGAF Capabilities and their parent Capabilities, by connecting the child underneath the parent in a hierarchy. As soon as you place one Capability underneath another Capability, their definitions are appropriately changed – to show one is the parent, and one is the child.

This diagram is similar to the Business Capability Hierarchy – the difference is that this diagram enables you to model Capabilities, which is a separate metamodel concept than Business Capability, introduced with TOGAF 9.2. Capability is a more general concept than Business Capability; Capability is tied to Work Package; Business Capability is related to many things in the TOGAF 9.2 metamodel (such as Value Stream, Function, and so on).
