LCG Milestones

Version 2004.04/V1

This is a summary of the Level-1 and Level-2 Milestones for the LHC Computing Grid Project LCG as presented in the quarterly report of April 2004 covering the period of January to March 2004.

Level-1 Milestones

The Level-1 and Level-2 Milestones constitute the baseline planning for the LCG.
The unique identifier is in column 2.
The comment in column 3 indicates the introduction date of milestones or experiment verification milestones.
The column 5 (Date_MS) gives the baseline date when the milestone is due and column 6 (MS_Done) gives the date when a milestone was achieved.

Hyperlinks to more detailed information (column 7) are currently available for the applications and grid deployment areas and for the Level-1 milestones. For the rest this information will be provided in the near future.

Full planning information is available as MS-Project file.

More information is available in the Milestones Report Q4/2003 (.doc)
