Milestone

Zero-duration project checkpoint representing a significant decision, deliverable or event.

Examples

01The milestone 'first part approved' is set for 15 April and marks the end of tool trials.
02At steering meetings, the project manager reports each milestone as on track, at risk or missed, starting with those on the critical path.
03A missed milestone gets a recovery plan with an owner and new date, and the effect on the next milestones is shown to the steering committee.
