* We have modified the Milestone structure to better fit our iterative design process. All concepts and procedures for the assigned milestones 3, 4, and 5, are combined to create three milestones with the three parts included in each one. Each of the three milestones is now used for complete development of one database using the analysis, design, and testing criteria.
Project Responsibilities
Milestone 1: Project Proposal and Preliminary Project Plan
JasonLong will lead the team through Milestone 1.
This part of the project requires much careful planning and allocating of team resources, skills, and time. Through this period we will be laying out a preliminary schedule of work for the semester to be sure we stay on target. We also will be looking over all six of the milestones to be sure our goals are realistic and that the scope of the project is not to great for the given amount of time for completion.
During this time we also restructured our Milestone process (as described below the project organization timetable) to modify Milestones 3, 4, and 5 into three prototyping stages: Milestone 3 includes analysis, design, and testing of the Contacts database; Milestone 4 includes analysis, design, and testing of the Calendar database; and Milestone 5 includes analysis, design, and testing of the Library database.

Milestone 2: Requirements Definition; Updated Project Plan
DanaChampion will lead the team through Milestone 2.
This phase will build the foundation for the project. While frequently meeting with our contact (Michele Leaman), we will be conducting a thorough requirements analysis to discover all the details concepts that will need to be involved in our proposed solution. Finally, we will define the project in its three parts in terms of our newly accepted requirements. These requirements will be generally defined in the beginning and more specifically defined during the requirements’ respective milestones.
We will also be updating our project plan.

Milestone 3: Database Application Analysis; Updated Project Plan
Alt. Milestone 3: Calendar Database Prototyping; Updated Project Plan
DaveLanzer will lead the team through Milestone 3.
Having defined a broad solution to the problem of the Women’s Caucus’ paper operations, we must now take a careful look at each individual part of the project and determine how good our solution is and how helpful it will be in the future. We start by looking at the process of identifying and recording calendar information. At this stage, we will concentrate on the analysis, design, and prototyping of the calendar database.

Milestone 4: Database Application Design; Updated Project Plan
Alt. Milestone 4: Contacts Database Prototyping; Updated Project Plan
JasonLong will lead the team through Milestone 4.
We now must look at the process of identifying and recording contact information. For this milestone, we will concentrate on the analysis, design, and prototyping of the contacts database. This database will be used to hold the contact information for all people who speak about a given topic or who have access to or maintain resources concerning a specific topic.

Deliverables:
- Updated data and process models
- Traceability analysis
- Database normalization
- Database prototype
- User interface design
- Meeting Notes
Milestone 5: Database Application Implementation, Testing, and Performance Improvement
Alt. Milestone 5: Library Database Prototyping; Updated Project Plan
DaveLanzer will lead the team through Milestone 5.
We now must look at the process of identifying and recording library and reference information maintained by the Women’s Caucus. For this milestone, we will concentrate on the analysis, design, and prototyping of the library database. This database will be used to hold the library and reference information for all of the packets of information maintained by the Women’s Caucus.

Milestone 6: Application Turnover and Final Project Presentation
DanaChampion will lead the team through Milestone 6.
The final project report and presentation will be a culmination of all of the work done on the system database project throughout the semester including problems encountered along the way, unexpected successes, and an evaluation of things we could have done differently in our approach to the project.
