Define the Milestones and Handoffs - Milestone Achievement (#5 in the series Managing Multicultural Projects with Complementary Practices)
By Johanna Rothman
When managing multicultural projects, I don’t mandate how each team should work to achieve their deliverables. Already established teams generally have some built-in practices, including work product review, configuration management, product build, product test, and others. For example, although I strongly believe in nightly builds and smoke tests, I don’t demand each project team perform nightly builds. Instead, I focus on defining and managing milestone criteria, to know that each team has achieved what it said it would, when it agreed to.
