A proper noun is a noun that names a specific person, place or thing. If the items mentioned in the first two lines of your examples are the names of specific departments in an organization, they are proper nouns and each word in the department name should be capitalized. If the items mentioned in the last four lines (preceded by bullets) are functions rather than names of departments, they are common nouns and therefore not capitalized.

The capitalisation in the title of your thread was incorrect. You should have capitalised the word "capitalise" and you should not have capitalised the word "proper". It should have looked like this:

It is not either department or function. It is my skills. For example,


My skills includes but is not limited to:

• Change control, business process and requirement traceability analysis.
• Programme reporting, delivery governance and schedule & dependency management.
• Problem isolation and analysis.
• Strong risks and issues analysis.
• Process improvement.
• Staff training and support.

Should all be in simple letters as above?

Note: 'My skills include but are not limited to':

Your capitalisation is correct.

Thanks for the reply,

English is never been an easy language for me to learn because there are lots of exceptions. Mother of exceptions.

My understanding in capitalising is that proper noun has to be in capital regardless of it is a department, function, skills or anything else in this world.

Based on above example, everything are proper nouns i.e. Change control, business process and requirement traceability matrix, dependency management.

Then why it has to be in simple letters?

Proper nouns are capitalized.
None of those are proper nouns.
