Colors show status and importance
The capability models can be broken down into a hierarchy, and for each level you can make it visible how the capabilities are supported by processes, systems, etc.
In a Business Capability Model each capability can be rated, in accordance with a whole set of criterias. The colors green, yellow, or red show the status of the ratings.
The stripe on the left side represents the Business Importance and two dots represent Business Maturity and Target Maturity.
