ActualProjectMilesone |
An event with a start date in a ActualProject from which progress is measured. References: OMG - UAF - ActualProjectMileStone |
Project Milesone |
A Project Milestone defines an intermediate delivery gate in the project lifecycle. Project Deliverables can be associated with a Project Milesone in case they are delivered during the project and not at the end of the project. Note: the association of deliverables to milestone do not affect their object life initialization; the object life should be manually updated accordingly if this is relevant. |

Responsible Human Entity |
A Responsible Human Entity is a Person or an organisation (group of people) capable of purposeful action, decision-making, and problem-solving within a system or organization. As Resource Agents, Responsible Human Entityies possess autonomy, adaptability, and the ability to influence outcomes, distinguishing them from unpurposeful entities like Business Systems (software and hardware) or Natural Resources. They can be held responsible for their actions, hence are Responsible Human Entityies. References: OMG - UAF - ActualResponsibleResource |

A Business Capability is a conceptual Capability that benefits to Customers (internal or external) of the enterprise. It expresses an ability to produce Conceptual Outcome Events. A Business Capability is defined by its intended Enterprise Outcome Events and the conditions (Condition Property) under which the production of the Enterprise Outcome Events shall be proceeded. The actual Condition Scale Values for a given Business Capability at different stages of Enterprise Initiatives is given by their exhibition (Exhibited Capability).

Programme |
References: OMG - UAF - Project |
Transformation Program |
A Transformation Program is an Initiative that is a temporary, flexible organisation created to co-ordinate, direct and oversee the implementation of a set of related Projects and Tasks in order to deliver outcomes and benefits related to the organisation’s strategic objectives. A programme is likely to have a lifespan of several years. During a programme lifecycle, projects are initiated, executed, and closed. Programmes provide an umbrella under which these projects can be co-ordinated. The programme integrates the projects so that it can deliver an outcome greater than the sum of its parts. Programs are defined upon a given domain (e.g. Business, Information Technology) A program domain gathers all the projects managed from the same perspective in terms of portfolio management decisions. Project Portfolios are therefore also attached to programs; by default, one portfolio of each portfolio type is created when creating a new program.

Project Portfolio |
A Project Portfolio gathers all the projects of a given Project Domain in the defined project state (Demands, Candidate Projects, Ongoing Projects). In a Portfolio, Projects can be assessed and compared against several criteria: - Projects Criteria: these are derived from projects information (e.g. costs) or from project qualitative assessment (e.g. strategic alignment level, business value level) - Portfolio criteria: these are additional criteria which can be defined at portfolio level on top of the projects criteria (ex : score, priority, rank) The project workflow can be actioned from the project portfolio lines.
