The Model-Based Enterprise Capabilities Matrix (MBECM)and User’s Guide identify a comprehensive set of model-based capabilities, credibly sourced, that can be used by organizations to plan the improvement of their model-based enterprise capabilities. Users are encouraged to tailor the Matrix to their needs; adopting their organization language, promoting or collapsing rows based on their risks and needs, and applying it to their enterprise and programs/projects.

Model-Based Enterprise Capabilities Matrix (MBECM) is an excel-based spreadsheet composed of descriptive model-based capability rows and columns that define the capability stage. The cells in a capability row progress from a capability that has little or no model based elements to the highest stage with the greatest amount of model based capability for an enterprise.

The associated User’s Guide describes how organizations may use the matrix as an input for strategic and tactical planning, development roadmaps, enterprise/program/project assessment, or for specific roles such as the program/project manager, system engineering, Information System lead, or modeler to plan and build their capabilities.

The scope of the Challenge Team effort includes development of the Matrix, the associated User's Guide, and a INCOSE Technical Project Plan (TPP). The TPP defines the Challenge Team leadership, how team members are added, as well as the product development and status events. This team has used technical workshops and forums to conduct working sessions to refine the products and uses on-line meetings to status the Challenge Team.
