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