Where are Capabilities managed?

Question

Options

• AIn the Portfolio Kanban.
• BIn the Value Stream planning board.
• CIn the ART Kanban.
• DIn the Value Stream Kanban.

• A
  4% (1)
• C
  4% (1)
• D
  91% (21)

Explanation

Capabilities are Large Solution-level constructs managed in the Value Stream Kanban, which tracks their flow from identification through implementation across multiple ARTs.

• A (Portfolio Kanban) is wrong - the Portfolio Kanban manages Epics, which are the largest portfolio-level work items, one level above Capabilities.
• B (Value Stream planning board) is wrong - this is used during PI Planning events for scheduling and coordination, not for ongoing Kanban management of work items.
• C (ART Kanban) is wrong - the ART Kanban manages Features, which are the Program-level decomposition of Capabilities.

Memory tip: Think of the hierarchy top-down - Epics → Capabilities → Features → Stories ("Every Company Finds Success"). Match each level to its Kanban: Portfolio → Epics, Value Stream → Capabilities, ART → Features. Capabilities live at the Value Stream (Large Solution) level, so they belong in the Value Stream Kanban.
