For over four years, Defence R&D Canada has been investigating Capability Engineering, which aims at supporting the Capability‐Based Planning (CBP) decision‐making process, under the Collaborative Capability Definition Engineering and Management Technology Demonstration (CapDEM TD) project. Based on the systems engineering paradigm, the approach is articulated around three axes: People, Process and Materiel. This paper presents the results of an experimental evaluation conducted to assess the CapDEM approach to Capability Engineering. The focus is on the lessons learned from Exercise Beta, the second of three validation exercises which are part of an evaluation strategy attempting to evolve capability engineering from theory into practice.
