managment and project planing
Answer Posted / somnath mukherjee
Re-adjustment in goals and milestones also come from
factorizing the critical success ratios in a project. This
is an ongoing process that gets re-visited in a project
life cycle, especially impacting the development and
delivery approach. Goals will hardly have a potential
change, but milestones will be vulnerable to the demand of
the time, cost, speeded success and most importantly, the
utilization of the resource pool - both human and non-
human.
