Requirements Specification
for an Electronic Calendar Tool
Version 0.2
23 January 2015

Editorial Note: This milestone example, and the others to follow, provide concrete examples of roughly what 308 class milestones should look like. Throughout the examples, there are editorial notes interjected, to explain important points. The notes are set off from the rest of the text in indented italics, to indicate that they should not be considered part of the document itself.

This example illustrates roughly what your Milestone 2 should look. The numbered sections in the document are based on the sections outlined in the requirements specification document outline distributed in the first week of class.

This milestone has the results of Milestone 1 unchanged, with an added initial rough draft of Section 2. Things can be expected to change a good deal by the time the final project report is completed. However, the basic sections of the report provide a working framework for organizing initial ideas.
