# View a roadmap of a business capability

View the roadmap of your business capabilities and align them with the organization's strategy. Creating a portfolio plan helps you plan, prioritize, and roadmap the work for your business capability.

## Before you begin

Ensure that the Strategic Planning plugin \(com.sn\_apw\_advanced\) \(v4.0.2 or later\) is installed.

Role required: sn\_apm.apm\_user and sn\_align\_core.apw\_user

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **Workspaces** > **Enterprise Architecture Workspace**.

2.  Open the Business Capability Hierarchy page by selecting the business portfolio icon \(\[Omitted image "business-portfolio-icon.png"\] Alt text: Business Portfolio icon.\).

3.  Select the row context menu icon \(\[Omitted image "icon-menu.png"\] Alt text: Row context menu icon.\) and select **View roadmap**.

    You’re navigated to the Planning page of the Strategic Planning Workspace. A temporary portfolio plan is created in the Strategic Planning Workspace with all the planning items that are associated with the business capability, sub-capabilities, and associated business applications.

    **Note:** The temporary portfolio plan is meant for preview purpose only. To plan, prioritize, and roadmap the work for your business capability, copy the temporary portfolio plan or create one.

4.  Copy the portfolio plan for your business capability to plan, prioritize, and roadmap the work for your business capability.

    1.  From the portfolio plan header, select the more actions icon \(\[Omitted image "icon-more-actions.png"\] Alt text: More actions menu in SPW\) and then select **Copy portfolio plan**.

    2.  On the Copy portfolio plan window, fill in the details.

        1.  Enter a name for the portfolio plan in the  **Portfolio plan name ** field.
        2.  \(Optional\)  Grant access to the users of the portfolio plan by selecting the **Share with same users and groups ** option.
    3.  Select **Confirm**.

    Alternatively, you can also create your own portfolio plan in the Strategic Planning Workspace \(SPW\) using the Business Capability lens.
