You can model Projects and the status of numerous Project properties at various Milestones using the NPV-2 Programme to Capability Mapping timeline diagram.

Milestones are represented as circles positioned on the project's phase bar. Each Milestone is divided into sections so that it resembles a pie. Each section of the Milestone 'pie' represents a particular Project Thread that you are tracking, such as Equipment, Logistics, Infrastructure, Organization, Doctrine, Information, Personal, and Training. The color of the pie section represents the status of that particular Project Thread at that Milestone, as specified later on this page.

The diagram summarizes, for each of the Projects illustrated, the level of maturity achieved across the Defence Line of Development (DLOD) at each stage of the CADMID lifecycle. You can also draw Dependency lines between Milestones of different projects, thereby modeling the interdependencies between the Project stages.

The following image shows an example of an NPV-2 diagram.
