Capability-Based Assessment (CBA)

Capability-Based Assessment (CBA) is a method used to evaluate an organization’s or system's ability to perform specific tasks or meet objectives based on its existing resources, skills, and processes. Instead of focusing solely on requirements, CBA identifies the actual capabilities needed, helping decision-makers understand what they can achieve and what gaps exist. This approach supports strategic planning, resource allocation, and risk management by providing a clear picture of current strengths and areas needing improvement to effectively accomplish goals.
