1\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Organization and Formatting<\/h2>\n

1.1\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 General (same as for other B-Sheets; follow this link for easy reference<\/a>)<\/h3>\n

1.2\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sheet-Specific\u00a0\u2014 Making it All Fit<\/h3>\n

The table of contents is fixed in terms of its entries.\u00a0 Therefore, there should be no need for it to increase in size.\u00a0 It should also not<\/em><\/strong> be decreased in size.\u00a0 It should also remain in the exact position as received.\u00a0 There should be plenty of room in the box\/area\/space provided for the Project Milestones<\/em> to list the milestones.<\/p>\n

Correct-Content Reminder:<\/strong>\u00a0 Milestones should be major accomplishments, not only<\/em><\/strong> \u201csyllabus items,\u201d and definitely not every little step along the way; for instance, the PUD-related milestone would likely be \u201cProblem Understanding Document delivered\/released to customer\u201d and not have all the internal submissions as milestones (or sub-milestones, which is not an actual thing).\u00a0 Note here that your customer does not know all the acronyms, so spell them out here (and put the acronym in parenthesis if you wish to refer to it later by that acronym).\u00a0 The focus should be on accomplishments over and above the PUD, CSR, PCR, etc.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • There is no specific Page Input<\/em> textbox\/content to be addressed for this page.<\/li>\n
  • In the pre-titled Project Milestones<\/em> box, present the milestones.\n
      \n
    • At the Problem Understanding Document (PUD) stage<\/strong>, this includes the customer release<\/em><\/strong> of major known deliverables provided in the course schedule (see Canvas course modules) and<\/em><\/strong> (more so) other major accomplishments you anticipate\/foresee at this point<\/span> \u2014 a couple examples (among others!<\/em><\/strong>) to get you thinking: \u201cmain system functions defined\u201d and \u201cfinal system-level solution chosen\u201d and\u2026<\/li>\n
    • At the Concept Selection Review (CSR) stage<\/strong>, all Term-I milestones must be identified and documented <\/span>and you should have a good cut at<\/strong> Term-II milestones as well. A couple Term-II milestone examples (<\/span>among others!<\/em><\/strong>) to prime your thinking: \u201cmajor components ordered\u201d and \u201cfunction-level and subsystem testing completed\u201d and \u2026<\/span><\/li>\n
    • At the Project Continuation Review (PCR) stage<\/strong>, all Term-II milestones must be identified and documented here.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
    • Present the milestones as follows:\n
        \n
      • Use any desired (hopefully effective) format; tabular might be a good choice<\/strong> (a bullet-point list is in the template, but by no means is that required as the format nor considered the best, just a placeholder).<\/li>\n
      • Include target date (such that you adhere to the course schedule and weekly accomplishment targets and goals) and the actual achieved date (to be entered once achieved) for each.<\/li>\n
      • The project timeline found in the project brief can be helpful, but copy and paste of it is not<\/em><\/strong> acceptable\u00a0\u2014 that is a timeline an much of what is in that table\/timeline are not actually milestones! (more than a couple teams have done this, so it has to be stated)<\/li>\n
      • Prior to achieving a milestone, keep a space\/placeholder for entering the achieved dates as they are achieved\u00a0\u2014 as indicated, the milestone list will continue being refined\/updated over time, such as at the CSR and the PCR.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
      • There is no specific Page Output<\/em> textbox\/content to be addressed for this page.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
