Milestones

Using the guidelines suggested by the smart criteria we created nine milestones for this intranet project listed below. 1. Create the project charter - This will form the project team in which each team member is assigned a duty in the project. It also defines the project objectives during the initial process. 2. Schedule project kickoff meeting - In this milestone, the project has been initiated and now it's time to formulate ideas that would develop the first draft of the scope statement and further down the line create the work breakdown structure. 3. Specify project schedule - After having developed the scope statement, and the work breakdown structure along with the Gantt chart, the project schedule is the finalization the leads to the documentation of what should be done and when it should be finished. This milestone is the guideline to project execution in which the planning phase collides with time deadline. 4. Create and identify recreational and self-improvement classes and programs - In this executing process, programs and classes are selected in order that the employees be able to register, and apply feedback from discussion boards, and using the help feature. 5.

Information from the discussion board can help improve the project which is why the rating scale section was developed to provide input by the users as a means of a progress report for the project. 8.
