      I have 1 team project meeting a week, 1 project meeting a week. 2 code reviews, email fires that aren't my teams responsibility, and 4 new programmers. Milestones? If only! (Personally I like 2 per month)

                            Depends on the work load of my client. Generally between 1 to 3 per month.

                                  Always and unequivocally we achieve exactly the number of milestones my project manager of the month thinks I should be achieving. Luckily he/she/it doesn't have any way of measuring completion, nor do they usually have an understanding of what the milestone actually means. In fact on occassion when my PM changes I will make up a few milestones that were already complete and set those as my goals (when the PM actually lets us set our own goals/milestones). This gives me the time to go back and fix some rushed code. Luckily there is no actual plan for the project so there are no "real" milestones, the powers that be just seem to like knowing that milestones (real or imagined) are being reached. btw I am being facetious and nothing in this indicates any real situation that exists (or in the past has existed) for me. I am always a dilligent worker, always climbing towards a well defined goal and never ever ever ever do I do any that would affect my PM's mental well being.


                                  Happiness is knowing that somewhere out there, there is a bullet with your name on it.

                                        we have one ... project complete. We have not hit that yet, hence the question.

                                        do you need to investigate an online backup[^] company

                                          Always and unequivocally we achieve exactly the number of milestones my project manager of the month thinks I should be achieving. Luckily he/she/it doesn't have any way of measuring completion, nor do they usually have an understanding of what the milestone actually means. In fact on occassion when my PM changes I will make up a few milestones that were already complete and set those as my goals (when the PM actually lets us set our own goals/milestones). This gives me the time to go back and fix some rushed code. Luckily there is no actual plan for the project so there are no "real" milestones, the powers that be just seem to like knowing that milestones (real or imagined) are being reached. btw I am being facetious and nothing in this indicates any real situation that exists (or in the past has existed) for me. I am always a dilligent worker, always climbing towards a well defined goal and never ever ever ever do I do any that would affect my PM's mental well being.

                                          Although humorous, unfortunately I believe this is the real truth. The other extreme is the current project that I am working on, which has a single milestone - project complete. As one would expect, we have push that date around a few times. If you could give a single piece of advice to your PM what would it be?
