Pr – Configuration Management

Download PDF

The Pr Viewpoint provides an overview of how Resource Assets change over time (note that NAFv3.1 only allowed for Capability Configurations whereas now this is opened up to all Resource Types). It shows the structure of different versions of Resource Assets (usually Capability Configurations or Service Implementations) mapped against a timeline.

Usage

The intended usage of the Pr includes:

  • Development of incremental acquisition strategy.
  • Configuration Management.
  • Planning technology insertion.
