DDC Capability Teams

Source: DDC 2026 Launch Event — Slide 102, "DDC: Our Capability Teams".

Capability Teams are accountable for defining how and who tackles products/projects — driving for technical excellence and ensuring solutions and capabilities are innovative, best-in-class, and integrated. They are the "execution" side of DDC that partners with the "strategy" side (Domains).
