Tasks and Milestones Drawing up a milestone plan with deadlines helps verify whether a project is where it should be. Periodic reviews should be conducted to see what milestones have been achieved since the award date and what needs to be accomplished to complete the next milestone. Several important milestones should be evaluated during the implementation of Starbucks' project improvement plan. If the project has a firm deadline for completion assigned to the project team, it is wise to plan milestones to ensure that milestone dates match the assigned project deadline date. The first milestone is the final decision on how the implementation will take place. Announcing the progress plan ensures that the entire team knows where the project will go. For the purposes of this project, an automated ordering system will be implemented in place of the current process, which calls the order to the beverage manufacturer or writes the order on the cup. The second fundamental stage is the completion of training on the new system. Training employees on how the equipment works can provide crucial feedback from users before installation. The third important stage is the installation of equipment in the shops. And the final milestone is to track success against the baseline data from the original trial. This will determine whether the project will be a success or failure. Project Risks and Impact on Project Outcomes Any project implementation involves a number of risks. How the team prepares for risks can possibly prevent them from occurring. Knowing what can cause a project to fail can point the team in the right direction right from the start. There are several risks that this project may encounter during construction.
