**[CMS Milestones]{.underline}**

(issue 2.1, 26'th August 1999)

**This document lists the milestones used to monitor the construction
and**

**assembly of the CMS experiment.**

**The milestones give a simplified picture of the principal tasks
involved, their sequence and their estimated completion dates,
consistent with current planning. Revisions and additions are to be
expected as the project evolves, within the constraints imposed by the
target date for completing installation of the detector.**

**For sub-detectors which have not completed an Engineering Design
Review, the milestones are provisional and incomplete. In these cases,
short-term milestones are given if available.**

####### 

**Milestone Levels:**

**Level 1 milestones** are derived from the overall planning for CMS
assembly.

**Level 2 milestones** are defined by sub-system managers and represent
key benchmarks in sub-detector progress towards the relevant level 1
milestones.

**Level 3 milestones** are defined by sub-system managers to complement
the level 1 and 2 milestones by providing a more detailed breakdown of
objectives and a mechanism for intermediate monitoring of major tasks in
progress. Frequent revisions and additions are anticipated as the
detailed planning is adapted to reflect growing experience and changing
circumstances.

**Milestone reporting:**

**Level 1 :** in writing to CMS Steering Committee and LHCC

**Level 2 :** in writing to CMS Steering Committee and LHCC

**Level 3 :** verbally to CMS Steering Committee and

to LHCC referees by CMS Technical Coordination
