Hi Maverick, > I mean a Software Development plan with > schedules and mile stones
OK, first of all you write your requirements spec (you read that link to Joel's article, I take it). Next, you sit down with the designers and the developers and break it into logical sections. Once you've done this, you discuss how long each section will take - you say things like "I want this bit done in a week", and they say things like "we could maybe do it in a month if you gave us intravenous caffeine feeds and found a way to keep us awake 24 hours a day", and you end up compromising on "this section will take three weeks". Repeat this process for all the sections. Add up the total time to do all the sections, add *at least* 50% buffer time, and you have your schedule. Deciding on milestones is up to you and the developers.
