Capability

The SOC-CMM uses a continuous approach to measuring technical capability across the technology and services domains. These can be technical features, such as the existence of certain tooling options or other features such as service artefacts. Just like with maturity scoring, capability scoring is continuous. The SOC-CMM model supports 4 capability levels: 

• Incomplete. The capability is missing or lacking essential features
• Performed. The capability is performed, but not standardized
• Managed. The capability is delivered in a standardized fashion
• Defined. The capability is actively managed and improved

Capabilities can be expressed at any maturity level.
