In order to let everyone see all the activities involved in bringing a new product like TrainMinder to market — as well as to let everyone see our progress — we have decided to share our detailed internal project to-do list. Anyone interested in the product can follow along as each major component is completed ... right up until the time TrainMinder enters beta testing. |

Herewith, then, is the list. Many of the items are done, and many remain. Fortunately, the completed items are the most complex in the system. Of those that remain, most are straightforward and/or build upon work done earlier in the system. |
