Download Milestone Summary for Proposed 3M Library Control System and more Study notes Introduction to Business Management in PDF only on Docsity! Teacher’s Note: This two-page example of a milestone summary is good for class because the detail provided for each phase indicates what each phase entails. Note that the team has two preliminary phases. Phase 1 is investigation of system-wide issues and Phase 2 is the design of the database. After Phase 2 the team split into pairs. One pair worked on a specific user function for Phases 3, 5, and 7 while the other pair worked simultaneously on user functions for Phases 4, 6 and 8. This was a Delivery 1 milestone summary created by Kiet Tran, Grant Mordecai, Clint Cagle, and Jerome Nolte. NOTE: One-page milestone summaries with fewer phase-by-phase details are better for clients.
