## Timescales

**Still too early to build a full project plan**
**However, the requirements update should occur as soon as possible and hopefully by March, 2005.**
**As people are freed up from other projects (in both AD and CD) ramp-up can proceed on the MI BPM upgrades.**
**Given the scope of probable work and the probable availability of people this project should take on order 1-1.5 years to complete.**
