Methods and Standards

Smart Perspectives

Switching between perspectives was significantly improved for this release. Now when you change the perspective, the project is not converted to another framework.  Only the graphical user interface changes. If you intend to convert the project, you need to do that manually.

New Resources to Capability Mapping matrix

Resources to Capabilities Mapping (Rs-Tr) addresses the direct and indirect linkage between Resources (Enterprise Phase, Operational Agent, Resource Performer, Service Specification, Actual Enterprise Phase, Actual Enduring Task ) described in the Resources domain and Capabilities specified in the Strategy domain. 

BPMN Compliance Mode improvements

The BPMN Compliance Mode improvements are as follows:

  • When you turn the mode on in a UAF project, BPMN stereotypes are applied to all UAF elements.
  • The BPMN Traceability matrices, maps, and tables are included in the UAF project.
  • Improved reports.
Diagramming Improvements

In the Phasing Gantt charts, you can choose to highlight Capabilities when their Sub Capabilities were removed from the chart. You can also choose the highlight color.

Top Capability display conditions

In the Chart Properties dialog, you can now choose a condition to highlight the availability of capabilities. There are two available options:

  • Select AND condition to highlight the Top Capability bar in red when any capability is unavailable in that period of time, and in black when all sub capabilities are available.
  • Select OR to highlight the Top Capability bar in black when any sub capability is available.

Easy Process Flow Diagrams Creation

Now you can conveniently create Process Flow diagrams from the Process diagram with the defined aggregation/composition of activities/functions.

Legends in Gantt Charts

Beginning with this version, you can use legends in the Gantt Chart diagrams to increase their readability.

Usability Improvements
  • Zooming in all Gantt Chart diagrams has been updated to be consistent with zooming in diagrams. Now the Ctrl+Scroll up or down will zoom the entire Chart and Shift+Scroll will control the timeline.
