What the milestones mean
The planner divides a roadmap's summed hours by your weekly hours and lays four milestones on the calendar: foundations done at a quarter of the way, a first portfolio piece at the halfway point, the certification or capstone at three quarters, and applications plus mock interviews in the last tenth.
