🗺️ For a start, there are not many known milestones:
✅ The starting date is known.
✅ The final event is known: the Viva Voce oral examination.
✅ For UK programmes, the Probation Period is often another known milestone.
And that’s it – over and above.
Everything else does not necessarily constitute a critical milestone or checkpoint:
📍 There will be supervision meetings, but they typically are not bound to a clear pathway.
📍 There might be coursework, but this is learning in the abstract and not necessarily tailored to get you through the next step in your research.
📍 There might be training events, but, as with coursework or supervision meetings, these are not necessarily planned interventions to get you through the next steps in your research.
👉 Contrary to this, research projects follow a relatively clear pathway and often have well-formulated milestones, control points, time estimates, and everything else that one would expect from any well-planned project.
👉 And the same goes for our Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA) programme – from the initial Executive Research Accelerator phase, through the applied research phase, and up towards the final presentation phase.
