Capability models have been used for more than a decade to improve the ability of organizations to produce software and systems. The models themselves have matured and currently capture much industry wisdom. However, it is important to note that capability models 1 do not and cannot include everything that an organization needs to know to do systems engineering well. This paper attempts to show where systems engineering is broader or deeper than is captured in capability models. Organizations that address these areas when implementing capability model‐based process improvement will make their systems engineering capability robust.
