It is always important to have
visible milestones in the life
cycle where various
stakeholders meet, face to
face ,to discuss progress and
plans
Purpose of the milestones in the
lifecycle :
• Demonstrate how well a project is performing.
• Synchronize stakeholders expectations.
• Achieve concurrence on three evolving
perspectives: the requirements ,the design, and
the plan.
• Synchronize related artifacts into a consistent
and balanced state.
• Identify the important risks,issues,and out-oftolerance conditions.
• Perform a global assessment for the whole
lifecycle ,not just the current situation of an
individual perspective or intermediate
product.
Three types of joint management
reviews are conducted throughout the
process:
• Major milestones
• Minor milestones
• Status assessments
MAJOR MILESTONES
• These system wide events are held at the end
of each development phase.
• They provide visibility to system wide issues.
• Synchronize the management and engineering
perspectives.
• Verify that the aims of the phase have been
achieved .
Life-Cycle Objectives Milestone
• Occurs at the end of the inception phase.
• Present to all stakeholders a recommendation
on how to proceed with development
,including a plan, estimated cost and schedule
,and expected benefits and cost savings.
LIFE CYCLE ARCHITECTURE MILESTONE
• Occurs at the end of the elaboration phase.
• Demonstrate an executable architecture to all
the stakeholders.
• A more detailed plan for construction phase is
presented for approval.
• Critical issues relative to requirements and
operational concept are addressed.
INITIAL OPERATIONAL CAPABILITY
MILESTONE
• Occurs late in the construction phase.
• Assess the readiness of the software to begin the
transition into customer/user sites
• Authorize the start of acceptance testing .
• Issues are addressed concerning installation
instructions, software versions descriptions ,user
and operator manuals ability of the development
organization to support user sites.
• Software quality metrics are reviewed to
determine .
• The readiness of the test environment and the
test software for acceptance testing is
assessed.
PRODUCT RELEASE MILESTONE
• Occurs at the end of the transition phase.
• Assess the completion of the software .
• Results of the acceptance testing are
reviewed.
• Open issues are addressed.
• Software quality metrics are reviewed.
MINOR MILESTONE
• These iteration-focused events .
• Conducted to review the content of an
iteration in detail .
• Authorize continued work.
MILESTONE OF AN ITERATION
• Iteration Readiness Review.
• Iteration Assessment Review.
PERIODIC STATUS ASSESSMENTS
• Serve as project snapshots
• A mechanism for open addressing
,communicating and resolving management
issues ,technical issues, and project risks.
• Objective data derived directly from on-going
activities and evolving product configurations.
• A mechanism for disseminating
process,progress,quality trends,practices,and
experience information to and from all
stakeholders in an open forum.
