Project Specification, Schedule, Milestones, and Member Assignments

Due Monday, April 6, at 6pm

The first stage of the quarter is to specify your project, define a schedule and a set of milestones, and assign members to the various components of your project.

Your specification should cover the following topics:

  1. Project Description
  2. Group Management
  3. Project Development
  4. Project Schedule

The goal is to make a plan at the outset, but nothing is set in stone. Many things you plan now will be changed as reality imposes itself, but the more seriously you take the planning now the more productive you'll be at getting it done. Do not think of this as just another course makework assignment. This is something that you should feel in your soul is an integral part of building your system. It is your blueprint for a successful project for the quarter.

Please post the information on your group Web page and send us mail when it is available.

For examples to help make the tasks in the initial assignment more concrete, some relatively recent specs are:
