This is a business capability map for the Microsoft Infrastructure service. You may also want to see the Entra ID business capability map.

Introduction

This capability map displays relevant capabilities provided by the Microsoft Infrastructure service offering. This map includes both provided capabilities and the specific features providing them, along with imagined future initiatives. Initiatives shown are not commitments, and require prioritization and resourcing. If the initiatives shown represent future capabilities that are important to you, you are encouraged to voice your needs and support to influence prioritization and resourcing.

On the left, you’ll find the desired outcomes from the business. These influence the stakeholder goals for the service which are represented in the 2nd column. The stakeholder goals can be thought of as general business capability needs that are general categories of need. Each goal has a color which is used to show how the other things on the map align to that goal.

The core capabilities provided today are in the 3rd column.

The 4th column lists the specific initiatives we have some level of planning for–items in italics are further out and have little to no planning.

The 5th column provides more details about initiatives, listing the future outcomes and benefits of these initiatives.
