Creating a Solution Master Plan
Solution Master Plans are created in the navigation tree. The details of these Master Plans are then displayed as a graphical representation in a Gantt Chart.
To create a Solution Master Plan in the DoDAF 2.0 navigation tree:
1. In the DoDAF 2.0 navigation window expand the Systems Viewpoint and SV-8 Systems Evolution Description folders.
2. Right-click the All System Master Plans folder and select New > Master Plan.
3. Enter the name of your Master Plan.
4. Select the planning mode of your Master Plan. By default the Master plan is date-oriented.
5. Click OK.
The new Master Plan appears in the tree under the All System Master Plans folder.
A Planned Item Periods folder is automatically created with the Master Plan. Three basic milestones are created with the "milestone-oriented" Master Plans; As-Is, To-Be, Distant Future.
