Project Plan and Timeline

I have chosen to use the SMART Goals that were recommended during the application process. This project has been broken up into discrete, measurable steps and clearly outline the milestones for both the midterm and final evaluations. The User interface will be designed “wizard” style.

Midterm Evaluation Milestones: 24 May - 12 July
Goal	Measure	Due Date	Status
Implement the Survey Template page	User is able to manage/create a survey template	6/11/2010	Completed
Implement the Survey Series page	User is able to create/manage a survey series and associate a survey template with it.	6/15/2010	Completed
Implement the Survey Section creation page	User is able to create a section and assign it a name and description	6/15/2010	Completed
Implement the question creation page	User is able to create and manage questions	6/23/2010	Completed
Implement the question configuration options page	User is able to: create a question, then based on question type configure certain options	6/25/2010	Completed
Implement the ability to create sections	User is able to create a survey template, create a section, and add questions to it and create an “instance” of that survey.	7/7/2010	Sections tossed – but complete in a different regard
Test that everything works	All tests pass and the application functions as it should. – “Wizard” UI Completed.	7/9/2010	Completed

Final Evaluation Milestones: 13 July - 9 August
Goal	Measure	Due Date	Status
