NPV, NATO Programme View
NPV-1, Programme Portfolio Relationships。
The Programme Portfolio Relationships Subview (NPV-1) details the relationships among projects within a major NATO programme, such as the Bi-SC AIS programme (Bi-Strategic Command Automated Information System with US and Allied Systems)
- It shows how projects are organisationally grouped to form a coherent acquisition programme
- It summarizes the interdependencies among projects and the linkages between project phases
- It is also used to identify the level of maturity to be achieved at each stage of a programme‘s life-cycle
Definition
- The NPV-1 subview can be used to analyze acquisition structures that support multiple interdependent projects to help ensure they can be easily integrated and evolved together
- The information provided by the subview can be used to determine the impact of either planned or unplanned programmatic changes, and highlight opportunities for optimization across the programme delivery
- The subview may be used to expose plans and decisions across the full spectrum of a military capability, and not just the material aspect of the capability
- For example, the NPV-1 can highlight a shortfall in training resources across a programme or group of projects that may require a concerted effort at the programme level to successfully deliver to the capability.

Development Guidance
- An NPV-1 product graphically displays the key milestones and interdependencies between the multiple projects that constitute an acquisition programme
- An NPV-1 product may also be compiled for a single system project or for a grouping of projects that have strong dependencies or contribute towards a common goal
- In its simplest form, an NPV-1 can be represented by a Gantt chart.

NPV-2, Programme to Capability Mapping。
The Programme to Capability Mapping (NPV-2) subview is intended primarily to support the acquisition and fielding processes, including the management of dependencies between projects and the integration of all relevant project and programme elements to achieve a capability as defined by in NATO capability package (CP).
Definition
- The NPV-2 maps programmes and projects to capabilities to show how the specific projects and programme elements help to achieve a NATO capability, as defined in a CP
- Projects are mapped to the capability for a particular timeframe or epoch
- Projects may contribute to multiple capabilities and may mature across epochs
- This subview analysis can be used to identify capability redundancies and shortfalls, highlight programme phasing issues, expose organisational or system interoperability problems, and support programme decisions, such as when to phase out a legacy system.
NPV-2, Programme to Capability Mapping。
Development Guidance
- A comprehensive NPV-2 analysis involves the creation of several products to represent the periods of time that are being analyzed
- Each NATO CP is represented by a separate NPV-2 subview
- However, projects may exist in multiple NPV-2 products
- The information in the NPVs will be consistent with that in other views, including NCVs, NOVs and NSOVs
- The NPV-2 subview may be represented in tabular or graphical format.
