The Milestone chart
Planning and monitoring site preparation activites is easier when you use a
Milestone chart. The Milestone chart is a site planning schedule. It shows
the sequence of activities necessary to complete a job and will be different
with each site. Depending on the complexity of the site, the chart may be
more detailed with scheduled due dates for each activity group.
When preparing your Milestone chart, consider not only the individual
operations, but the overall installation schedule. A Milestone chart may
show the necessary operations in order and may assign a start date and end
date for each.
Remember to obtain the appropriate sign-offs when the site is ready for
delivery and installation of the equipment. Sign-offs may include
regulatory items such as electrical and air conditioning inspections and the
approval of the cable plan.
Table 3 lists typical activities that should be included in the Milestone chart.
Your chart may differ from this one.
The first Milestone prior to delivery should be used to prepare specifications
and drawings, request bids, order equipment related to the site preparation,
and begin renovations or construction of the equipment room.
