High Level Schedule and Milestones





 This project has a timeframe of 8 months. It begins January 2, 2014 and has a planned release date of August 29th, 2014. The project manager is responsible for setting the schedule dates. The development and testing team in Seattle has enough members that all features and fixes will be worked on at the same time and will be continuously integrated together into a clean build of the system by the end of each day. Developers will provide Microsoft, the testing team, and the documentation team with an acceptable working prototype just before the prototype delivery milestone date (see below).



 Microsoft has expressed that it wishes to review each of three prototype (A, B, and C) as they become available so that they may monitor how their customers will use the new features and be able to add or change minor specification details as the project progresses. The high-level schedule for the project is as follows (eliminating weekend dates):
