Creating Strategic Typical Deployment table

The context of the Strategic Typical Deployment table is the Actual Enterprise phase.  The Actual Enterprise Phase can have Start and End dates defined. Those dates can be reused for deploying Resources. The Enterprise Phase element is related to the Strategic Structure view.

The content of the Strategic Typical Deployment table are Resources used by Actual Responsible Resources (Actual Organizations, Actual Posts, and Actual Persons) to realize Capabilities in a particular time period of the enterprise. The rows of the Strategic Typical Deployment table are Actual Responsible Resources, and columns are Capabilities.

Actual Enterprise Phase and Capability are related using the Exhibits relationship when the Capability is added as a table column.

Resources are related to Capabilities using the Exhibits relationship when the table cell is filled.

Deploy the Resources that are necessary for the Actual Responsible Resource to accomplish the selected Capability. Actual Responsible Resources are related to Actual Project Milestones (In Service and Out Of Service) using the Responsible For relationship. Resources are set as the versionReleased for In Service Milestone and versionWithdrawn for Out of Service Milestone. 

The Responsible For relationship is created in the model when the table cell is filled with Resources.

There can be one or more Resources related to the Actual Organizational Resource. The VerionReleased Milestone defines the time when the Resource is started to use. The VersionWithdrawn Milestone defines the time when the Resource is no longer used. We recommend using the timeframe from the Actual Enterprise Phase. 


To work with the Strategic Typical Deployment table

  1. Create a Strategic Typical Deployment table.
  2. Add Actual Organizational Resources as rows in the table.
  3. Add Capabilities as columns in the table.
  4. Add Resources in table cells as content in the table.


Create a Strategic Typical Deployment table

    • Right-click a Strategic Roadmap package as the diagram owner and select Create Diagram > Strategic Typical Deployment.
    • Right-click an Actual Enterprise Phase and select Create Diagram > Strategic Typical Deployment.
  2. The Actual Resources Deployment Creation Wizard opens. Follow the steps of the wizard.

You can click Finish in the first step of the Actual Resources Deployment Creation Wizard. Then an empty table is created and you will need to add rows and columns manually.
