Project milestone (UPDM - DoDAF aliases)
Creation
To create a Project Milestone:
• From an Architectural Description or Service Description: right-click the Architectural Description or Service Description, point to New, point to DoDAF, point to Project, and then click Project Milestone.
On the Select Type dialog, create or select the Project Milestone Type that is the classifier for the Project Milestone.
• From a PV-3 Actual Project Definition:
• From an appropriate Modeler pane, locate the Project Milestone Type element that you want to use as the classifier of the Project Milestone, and then drag that Project Milestone Type to free space on the diagram. From the dialog, select Project Milestone, and then click OK.
• Click the Project Milestone toolbar button, and then click in free space on the diagram. On the Select Type dialog, create or select the Project Milestone Type element that is the classifier of the Project Milestone.
You can convert a Project Milestone to a Deployed Milestone, Increment Milestone, No Longer Used Milestone or Retirement Milestone: right-click the Project Milestone, point to Convert To, and then click the required command.
Appearance
When shown on a PV-3 Actual Project Definition, a Project Milestone appears as follows:
When shown on a PV-2 Project Timelines, a Project Milestone appears as follows:
Relationships
The following relationships are of importance to a Project Milestone:
• Milestone Sequence relationships link a Project Milestone to the milestone elements that are predecessors and successors to that Project Milestone.
The predecessor and successor elements can be Project Milestone, Deployed Milestone, Increment Milestone, No Longer Used Milestone and Retirement Milestone elements.
The following sections provide information about how a Project Milestone is used in the model.
Create a Project Milestone from
• Architectural Description
• PV-3 Actual Project Definition
• Service Description
Create from a Project Milestone
Only the UPDM elements that can be created from all UPDM elements ( Representation, Definition, Information, and Metadata).
