The Architectural Thinking Framework® has the goal to ensure that all the solutions of an organization fit together in order to balance the dimensions
– customer value
– finance
– sustainability
in a way that maximizes the overall value from an enterprise-wide viewpoint in the short and the long term.
The Architectural Thinking Framework®
- complies to three values
- consists of four parts
- that can be used on three scopes of architecture: (i) enterprise, (ii) top-level capability and (iii) solution.
Architectural Thinking is not a process or discipline. Instead, it makes use of a content-oriented framework that defines artifacts and their relations that need to be created by various processes (such as strategy, governance or solution development). The Architectural Thinking Framework® enables consistent, connected, company-wide structures that ensure traceability from business vision to technology implementation. It is lean enough for Agile but works as well with classical project management methods.

Auf dieser Seite ist der Satz "Navigable picture is here" oberhalb des Bildes. Auf der Seite Overview ist dieser Satz darunter. Sollte vielleicht einheitlich sein.
Ist es gewünscht, dass in der linken Navigation "Seiten" und "Seitenhierarchie" zu lesen ist?
Navigation im Picture funktioniert am Computer (IE 11)
Schaut üebrsichtlicher aus als am Handy

I’d suggest to to distinguish business function from capability.
Business function is the label given to an asset, capability define the qualitative and quantitative attributes of that asset.
E.g. Automotive—Business function “Production”—quantitative: how many cars I’m able to produce in one day
Qualitative: different kind of cars with (station wagon, spider, crossover and so on).
The Business function is a fixed asset, capabilities can change in terms of quantitity and quality.
I’d put emphasis on capabilities because, in the general blue print of the Organization, the issue to distinguish business functions and (related) capabilities is not important.
But when it comes to evaluate Portfolio, it’s very important to distinguish.

Alessandro Merlotti : Thx for your comment,
>>'But when it comes to evaluate Portfolio, it’s very important to distinguish.' I do not really understand what you mean by that.

I would move "Architectural Thinking is not a process or discipline." to the end of the paragraph where it appears, not the beginning.
