Roadmap Marker diagram
You can build Roadmap: Evolution or Roadmap: Forecast views for UAF by using the Roadmap Marker diagram to model the roadmap of numerous UAF artifact types:
Capability (UAF).
Software (UAF).
System (UAF).
Project (UAF).
Technology (UAF).
ServiceSpecification (UAF).
ResourceArtifact (UAF).
Person (UAF).
Post (UAF).
Organization (UAF).
You can add other types through easy customization of the metamodel through usrprops.txt.
To build the roadmap, complete these steps:
1 Select the Roadmap Element symbol and draw it on the diagram. Name it.
2 Go to the Symbol tab of the Roadmap Element, and specify a Start Date and End Date of the roadmap.
3 Go to Page 2 of the Symbol tab, and specify definition types to track in the roadmap.
4 For each definition added to the Roadmap, go to its Roadmap Marker tab.
a On Page 1 of the Roadmap Marker tab, you can choose a color of the overarching ribbon of the definition as presented on the diagram.
b On Page 2 of the Roadmap Marker tab, specify Time Periods for the definition, with Start and End dates. You can also specify a Milestone Date for a Time Period. Examples: Design, Develop, Test, and eGA of a System (UAF) or Software (UAF).
5 You can also specify a Color for each Time Period by opening its definition and specifying it within the Roadmap tab. You will not see this property in the grid – you must open each Time Period definition to access it.
