It is recommended to create an NOV-4 before creating an NPV-1.


To create an NPV-1 diagram

  1. Create Actual Projects.
  2. Associate Actual Projects by dragging one project (part) to another (whole). Alternatively you can specify the whole and part properties.
  3. Associate Actual Projects with Actual Organizations (NOV-4) or Actual Posts (NOV-4) responsible for them by using the Organizational Project Relationship.

You can nest Actual Projects, Actual Organizations, and Actual Posts to one another in the diagram to make it look more attractive and easier to read (see the figure below).

You can also use an NPV-1 Responsibility Matrix to define the association between Actual Projects and Actual Organizational resources.
