Milestone 2: Design and Project Planning
Design specification
Richard Hancock3
Map the logical models and produce a design specification
The design specification will be different for everyone but should reflect your project and the project area
Refer to your functional and non-functional requirements
This is basically the blueprint for implementing your system/solution and how to do it
Design techniques are used as part of this process

Project planning
Richard Hancock5
Production of some sort of project plan Can be done using:
Microsoft Project Open Workbench Excel spreadsheet
Be realistic with your time planning! You will need to revise your original project plan
(baseline) as the project develops therefore you should end up with several plans over the course of the project
You will refer to your time plans in the evaluation (Milestone 3) in order to reflect upon your time management skills

consistently developed Project design techniques will vary considerably
The techniques are dependent upon what your project is about
If you gave your design to someone else, could they implement it?
Project planning Make use of Gantt charts Keep them up to date with changes to your plans You should end up with a series of them as the
project matures over time
