Milestone

Milestones are project management tools that can be used for various purposed depending on the industry.

On long projects, it may be usefully to add milestones to mark the completion of one or more tasks. The milestone may mark a handover procedure, e.g. in the form of a report or completed tasks for approval. Milestones can also be used for assessing how the completion of the project/task should be done.

Usually, the completion of a milestone requires a formal delivery or approval such as a customer acceptance, initiation of a partial outcome, or approval by the steering committee or board.

Milestones are an important project management tool as they render delays or discrepancies visible.
