This document discusses milestones, walkthroughs, and inspections during the software development process. It explains that these activities provide visibility into the evolving product and allow teams to establish milestones, conduct reviews to find and fix errors, improve communication, and ensure the design satisfies requirements. The document focuses on the two major milestones: Preliminary Design Review (PDR) near the end of architectural design, and Critical Design Review (CDR) at the end of detailed design before implementation. These milestones can be formal or informal meetings and aim to demonstrate that expected characteristics and structure will satisfy customer needs at PDR, and provide a final decision point to proceed with building the system at CDR.

2. MILESTONES ,WALK THROUGHS
AND INSPECTION
One of the most important
aspects of a systematic
approach to software
development is the resulting
visibility of the evolving
product.

3. MILESTONE, WALKTHROUGHS
AND INSPECTION
Development of these
intermediate work proucts the opportunity
to establish milestone and to conduct
inspection and reviews.
These activities in turn
expose errors,provide increased project
communication, keep the project on
schedule and permit verfication that the
design satisfies the requirements.

4. MILESTONES, WALKTHROUGHS
AND INSPECTIONS
The two major milestones
during desing are the Preliminary Design
Review(PDR) and the Critical Design
Review(CDR)
 The PDR is typically held
near the end of architectral design
and prior to detailed design .
 The CDR occurs at the end
of detailed and prior to
implementation.

5. MILESTONES,WALK THROUGHS AND
INSPECTION
Depending on the size
and complextiy of the product being
developed,the PDR and CDR may be
large formal affairs inovlving several
people are they may consists of on two
types of meeting.They are:
*Formal meeting
*Informal meeting.

6. MILESTONES,WALK THROUGHS
AND INSPECTIONS
They may consist of an
informal meeting between a
programmer and there project
leaders.
In any case,formal
sign-off should occur to indicate
that the milestone has been
achieved.

7. MILESTONES,WALK THROUGHS
AND INSPECTIONS
The major goal of the
PDR is to demonstrate that the
externally observabe
characteristics and architectural
structure of the product will
satisfy the customer’s
requirements.

8. MILESTONES,WALK THROUGHS
AND INSPECTIONS
The PDR may expose enough serious
problems that a subsequent PDR
scheduled or the PDR may expose only
minor errors that can be corrected and
reviewed at CDR.
The CDR is heled at the end of
detailed design and before to
implementation.

9. MILESTONES,WALK THROUGHS
AND INSPECTIONS
CDR provides a
final management decision
point to build or canael the
system,The CDT is in essence
a repeat of the PDR, but
with the benefit of additional
design effort.
