Milestones

Milestone 1: Project “Scaffolding”

This milestone pertains to setting up an initial schedule and any resources that your team will use for the duration of the project. It will be useful to get an overview of every team member’s own milestones so that you have an accurate big picture view.

1. In consultation with your team, work backward from the final deadline to set intermediate deadlines for each deliverable. In particular you need to set deadlines for what you will accomplish by the journal deadline for Week 12, Week 14, and Week 15.
2. Organize management tools for your team:
   • Workflow narratives
   • Action items
   • Testing results/reports
     • Bugs/feature requests
     • Question/answer sequences

Milestone 2: Periodic Updates

Not as much a milestone as an on-going task, once the project is up and running the Project Manager is responsible for keeping track of everyone’s progress.

1. Get periodic updates on progress; in particular, the project’s “place” in the overall flow should be known at all times (transparency). You and your team will be giving a status report in class for the rest of the semester.
2. Monitor the status of the report-in-progress and other related documentation.
3. Coordinate team decisions and action items addressing any unforeseen delays or roadblocks.
