From the dialog, select Actual Project Milestone, and then click OK.
Use Milestone Sequence relationships to link the Actual Project Milestone to the milestone elements that are predecessors and successors to that Actual Project Milestone. The predecessor and successor elements can be Actual Project Milestone, Deployed Milestone, Increment Milestone, No Longer Used Milestone and Out Of Service Milestone elements.
To create a Deployed Milestone:
• Click the 
Deployed Milestone button, and then click in free space on the diagram. From the Select Type dialog, create or select the Project Milestone element that is the classifier of the Deployed Milestone.
Deployed Milestone button, and then click in free space on the diagram. From the Select Type dialog, create or select the Project Milestone element that is the classifier of the Deployed Milestone.• From an appropriate Modeler pane, locate the Project Milestone element that you want to use as the classifier of the Deployed Milestone, and then drag that Project Milestone to free space on the diagram. From the dialog, select Deployed Milestone, and then click OK.
Use Milestone Sequence relationships to link the Deployed Milestone to the milestone elements that are predecessors and successors to that Deployed Milestone. The predecessor and successor elements can be Actual Project Milestone, Deployed Milestone, Increment Milestone, No Longer Used Milestone and Out Of Service Milestone elements.
To create an Increment Milestone:
• Click the 
Increment Milestone button, and then click in free space on the diagram. From the Select Type dialog, create or select the Project Milestone element that is the classifier of the Increment Milestone.
Increment Milestone button, and then click in free space on the diagram. From the Select Type dialog, create or select the Project Milestone element that is the classifier of the Increment Milestone.• From an appropriate Modeler pane, locate the Project Milestone element that you want to use as the classifier of the Increment Milestone, and then drag that Project Milestone to free space on the diagram. From the dialog, select Increment Milestone, and then click OK.
Use Milestone Sequence relationships to link the Increment Milestone to milestone elements that are predecessors and successors to that Increment Milestone. The predecessor and successor elements can be Actual Project Milestone, Deployed Milestone, Increment Milestone, No Longer Used Milestone and Out Of Service Milestone elements.
Link (UML item)
To create a Link: click the 
Link button, click the source Actual Project, and then click destination Actual Project Milestone, Deployed Milestone, Increment Milestone, No Longer Used Milestone or Out Of Service Milestone element.
Link button, click the source Actual Project, and then click destination Actual Project Milestone, Deployed Milestone, Increment Milestone, No Longer Used Milestone or Out Of Service Milestone element.When you create a Link, Modeler creates a slot on the Actual Project.
 | You can create a link between an Actual Project and a milestone element only when their classifiers are related through a Project Milestone Role. These Project Milestone Role relationships can be created on an NPV-3 Project Type Definition. |
To create a Milestone Sequence: click the 
Milestone Sequence button, click the predecessor milestone, and then click the successor milestone element.
Milestone Sequence button, click the predecessor milestone, and then click the successor milestone element.The predecessor and successor milestone elements can be as follows: Actual Project Milestone, Deployed Milestone, Increment Milestone, No Longer Used Milestone and Out Of Service Milestone elements.
To create a No Longer Used Milestone:
• Click the 
No Longer Used Milestone button, and then click in free space on the diagram. From the Select Type dialog, create or select the Project Milestone element that is the classifier of the No Longer Used Milestone.
No Longer Used Milestone button, and then click in free space on the diagram. From the Select Type dialog, create or select the Project Milestone element that is the classifier of the No Longer Used Milestone.• From an appropriate Modeler pane, locate the Project Milestone element that you want to use as the classifier of the No Longer Used Milestone, and then drag that Project Milestone to free space on the diagram. From the dialog, select No Longer Used Milestone, and then click OK.
Use Milestone Sequence relationships to link the No Longer Used Milestone to the milestones that are predecessors and successors to that No Longer Used Milestone. The predecessor and successor elements can be Actual Project Milestone, Deployed Milestone, Increment Milestone, No Longer Used Milestone and Out Of Service Milestone elements.
To create an Out Of Service Milestone:
• Click the 
Out Of Service Milestone button, and then click in free space on the diagram. From the Select Type dialog, create or select the Project Milestone element that is the classifier of the Out Of Service Milestone.
Out Of Service Milestone button, and then click in free space on the diagram. From the Select Type dialog, create or select the Project Milestone element that is the classifier of the Out Of Service Milestone.• From an appropriate Modeler pane, locate the Project Milestone element that you want to use as the classifier of the Out Of Service Milestone, and then drag that Project Milestone to free space on the diagram. From the dialog, select Out Of Service Milestone, and then click OK.
Use Milestone Sequence relationships to link the Out Of Service Milestone to the milestones that are predecessors and successors to that Out Of Service Milestone. The predecessor and successor elements can be Actual Project Milestone, Deployed Milestone, Increment Milestone, No Longer Used Milestone and Out Of Service Milestone elements.
To create a Project Ownership: click the 
Project Ownership button, click the Actual Project that is the project responsibility, and then click the Actual Post or Actual Organization that is the responsible resource.
Project Ownership button, click the Actual Project that is the project responsibility, and then click the Actual Post or Actual Organization that is the responsible resource.
To create a Project Sequence: click the 
Project Sequence button, click the predecessor Actual Project, and then click the successor Actual Project.
Project Sequence button, click the predecessor Actual Project, and then click the successor Actual Project.The following sections provide information about how an NPV-3 Actual Project Definition is used in the model.
