Milestone 10 Action Plan: Assemble and Review Your First Complete Project Version
Jack Righteous20 Milestones: From Project to Platform — Milestone 10 Action Plan
Assemble and Review Your First Complete Project Version
This free seven-session plan brings your approved Milestone 9 production units together as one complete Version 1 candidate.
Your final deliverable is a First Full Project Version Package: the assembled project, authoritative asset inventory, Version 1 boundary statement, integration defect log, audience-journey review and formal full-project review decision.
Before you begin
Bring forward the Milestone 9 First Production Cycle Record and the records for every required production unit. You also need the Milestone 8 deliverable register, the current approved file for each unit, review and approval evidence, human-contribution records and the Version 1 exclusions.
If a required unit has not passed its production cycle, do not label it approved. Return it to Milestone 9 and identify the missing work.
Version 1 assembly statement: I am assembling [project] from the approved production units listed in this record so the complete [audience] experience can be evaluated against [outcome], [central message] and [primary format/delivery model].
Session 1
Inventory the approved production units
List every component expected in Version 1 and identify its authoritative approved file. Do not use “latest” as a substitute for approval.
| Component | Required? | Authoritative version | Approval evidence | Storage location | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| [Component] | Required / Supporting | [Exact filename/version] | [Record] | [Location] | Approved / Missing / Unclear |
Check for
- Missing required components
- More than one file claiming authority
- Approved files stored outside the expected location
- Components without rights or contribution records
- Supporting assets incorrectly treated as required
Complete when: every required Version 1 component is either connected to one authoritative approved file or visibly marked as missing.
Session 2
Reconfirm the Version 1 boundaries and assembly map
Protect the project from late-stage expansion before assembly begins.
| Item | Classification | Reason | Placement or destination |
|---|---|---|---|
| [Asset or idea] | Required / Supporting / Deferred / Excluded | [Reason] | [Position, later version or outside project] |
Create the assembly map
| Order | Component | Purpose in audience journey | Preceded by | Followed by | Transition needed? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| [1] | [Component] | [Purpose] | [Prior step] | [Next step] | Yes / No |
Complete when: the Version 1 boundary is explicit and every required component has an intended place in the complete experience.
Session 3
Assemble the authoritative files
- Create a protected Version 1 assembly workspace.
- Copy or reference only the authoritative approved files.
- Place the components in the assembly-map order.
- Apply one consistent naming system.
- Preserve source and prior approved files separately.
- Create required transitions, navigation or connecting instructions through a controlled production task.
- Give the assembled candidate one clear version identifier.
| Project candidate name | [Project_V1_Candidate_Date] |
|---|---|
| Assembly owner | [Owner] |
| Assembly date | [Date] |
| Source inventory location | [Location] |
| Candidate location | [Location] |
| Known placeholders | [None or clearly listed] |
Complete when: one complete candidate can be opened or experienced in its intended sequence.
Session 4
Run the completeness and continuity check
Move through the candidate from beginning to end without editing immediately. Record what actually happens.
| Location | Observation | Defect type | Effect on audience | Required before review? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| [Section/time/page] | [Observed problem] | Missing / Duplicate / Sequence / Transition / Technical / Other | [Effect] | Yes / No |
Check whether
- Every required component appears once in the correct place.
- Introductions and instructions match what follows.
- Transitions make the next step understandable.
- Navigation, links, filenames, numbering and labels are consistent.
- No placeholder appears as finished content.
- No approved component was accidentally shortened, replaced or damaged.
Complete when: all confirmed completeness and continuity defects are visible in one integration defect log.
Session 5
Test the audience journey and project-wide consistency
Review the assembled candidate as the intended audience would experience it—not as the person who created each part.
| Review dimension | Evidence | Result | Required response |
|---|---|---|---|
| Audience fit | [Observed evidence] | Pass / Concern / Fail | [Action] |
| Outcome support | [Evidence] | Pass / Concern / Fail | [Action] |
| Central message | [Evidence] | Pass / Concern / Fail | [Action] |
| Terminology and tone | [Evidence] | Pass / Concern / Fail | [Action] |
| Format and delivery fit | [Evidence] | Pass / Concern / Fail | [Action] |
| Accessibility and usability | [Evidence] | Pass / Concern / Fail | [Action] |
| Rights and contribution traceability | [Evidence] | Pass / Concern / Fail | [Action] |
Separate confirmed observations from interpretations. A feeling that something is “off” may justify a targeted review question, but not an unsupported rewrite.
Complete when: project-wide strengths, confirmed inconsistencies and unresolved questions are recorded against the approved audience, outcome, message and format.
Session 6
Resolve integration defects and freeze the Version 1 candidate
Classify each defect before assigning work.
| Defect | Classification | Decision | Owner | Resolution version | Verification |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| [Defect] | Integration / Production / Foundational / Deferred | Correct / Return / Defer / Accept condition | [Owner] | [Version] | [Evidence] |
- Integration defect: repair within Milestone 10 when it concerns assembly, transitions, labels or project-wide consistency.
- Production defect: return the affected unit to Milestone 9.
- Planning defect: return to Milestone 8.
- Foundational defect: return to the relevant Milestone 2–7 record.
- Deferred issue: record it only when it does not prevent complete and responsible review.
Freeze the candidate
| Frozen candidate identifier | [Version] |
|---|---|
| Freeze date | [Date] |
| Included components | [Inventory reference] |
| Known controlled conditions | [Conditions] |
| Change authority | [Owner or approver] |
| Review-copy location | [Location] |
Complete when: one stable candidate is protected from casual changes and every unresolved issue is visible.
Session 7
Authorize full-project review and prepare the handoff
Final readiness check
- All required Version 1 components are present.
- Every component uses the authoritative approved version.
- The project can be experienced from beginning to end.
- Blocking continuity and technical defects are resolved.
- Audience, outcome and message concerns are documented.
- Rights and contribution evidence is traceable.
- The candidate identifier and location are clear.
- Review criteria and authority are defined.
| Candidate reviewed | [Exact identifier] |
|---|---|
| Decision | Authorize full-project review / Authorize with controlled conditions / Return to production / Return to earlier milestone / Hold |
| Supporting evidence | [Records] |
| Controlled conditions | [Conditions] |
| Reviewer or review roles | [Roles] |
| Review questions | [Questions] |
| Next authorized action | [Action] |
Complete when: the project has one evidence-supported status and the next action is authorized without pretending that full-project review or final publication has already happened.
Responsible AI assistance
Inventory prompt: Using only this Version 1 boundary statement and asset inventory, identify required components without an authoritative file, duplicate authority claims and missing approval references. Do not invent files or approvals.
Consistency prompt: Compare the supplied project sections against the supplied audience, outcome, central message and terminology guide. Separate direct contradictions, possible inconsistencies and questions requiring human review. Do not rewrite the project.
Readiness-audit prompt: Audit this Integration Readiness Record against the listed completeness, authority, coherence, consistency, usability, technical and evidence gates. Identify missing proof and unresolved blockers. Do not approve the project.
