In Capstone I and II, there are several milestones set to ensure completion of the project at the end of the 2 semester course. Here, if milestones were met its marked completed but if it is missed; a team must have a contingency plan to ensure that the project isn’t stalled. So a missed milestone is a failure if and only if there is no contingency plan to solve it and keep the project going to meet the deadline. The contingency plan can be a solution to a problem that may arise or to move on to the next stage of the project that does not concern the missed milestone. Therefore, a missed milestone does not really spell failure of the project it can just be a setback that can be solved with the proper execution of a contingency plan or set of contingency plans.
