Business capabilities and value streams are modeled when identifying the business and technology environment. This phase involves documenting the current state architecture, including the organization's capabilities (what the business can do) and value streams (how value flows through the organization). These elements provide essential context for understanding the architectural landscape and form the baseline against which problems and solutions are evaluated.

A. When identifying and documenting desired outcomes

This phase focuses on future goals and objectives, not current capabilities and value streams.

C. When identifying the human actors

This phase identifies stakeholders and their concerns, not organizational capabilities or value flows.

D. When identifying, documenting and ranking the problem

This phase analyzes gaps and issues, not the modeling of existing capabilities and value streams.
