The mismatch in the numbering here feels inherently confusing to me.
How about if the numbers were aligned, and then the first Beta target date
was called something like "Preferred Beta Target" or "Beta Target
0"?
That would give:
* Beta Target 0 (preferred): missing this shortens the Beta testing
period, but doesn't necessarily cause the Final release to slip
* Beta Target 1: missing this means Final Target 2 is the earliest
release date that will be considered
* Beta Target 2: missing this means defining new Beta Target 3 and
Final Target 3 dates
* Final Target 1: releasing on this date requires hitting Beta Target 0
or Beta Target 1
* Final Target 2: fallback release target if Beta Target 1 and/or Final
Target 1 are missed
Sure, that works for me. I also appreciate your sneaking in the word
"preferred" there, because otherwise "Target 0" sounds like "We
know
this'll never happen". :)
