**Value Stream to Capability** is a many-to-many mapping table within the [[Foundation (CSDM domain)|Foundation domain]] of the [[Common Service Data Model|Common Service Data Model]] (CSDM), a reference architecture developed by [[ServiceNow|ServiceNow]] that provides prescriptive guidance on service-related definitions and data modeling within the ServiceNow AI Platform. This table creates references between [[Value Stream Stage (CSDM)|Value Stream Stages]] and [[Business Capability (CSDM)|Business Capabilities]], enabling organizations to relate how value is delivered to the capabilities required to execute that delivery. Value Stream to Capability mappings are recorded in the cmn_value_stream_capability table and use the "Operationalizes::Operationalized by" [[CMDB relationship|CMDB relationship]] type. This relationship allows organizations to understand which business capabilities support specific stages within a [[Value Stream (CSDM)|Value Stream]], providing traceability between strategic value delivery and the high-level capabilities an organization requires to execute its business model. Combined with [[Value Stream to Process (CSDM)|Value Stream to Process]] mappings, these relationships enable [[Enterprise Architecture (ServiceNow)|Enterprise Architecture]] and [[Strategic Portfolio Management (ServiceNow)|Strategic Portfolio Management]] to assess and rationalize investments based on how capabilities contribute to value outcomes across the [[CSDM Service Life Cycle|CSDM Service Life Cycle]].
