Project Milestones

  • A milestone is a significant point or event in a project that represents a key achievement or completion of a major phase.
  • Milestones are used to track progress and provide a sense of accomplishment as the project moves forward.
  • They are markers that indicate the successful completion of a group of related tasks or the attainment of a specific project phase.
  • Milestones are typically identified during project planning and serve as points of reference for assessing project progress.

In summary, tasks are the individual actions that need to be performed to complete a project, while milestones are significant points in the project timeline that mark the completion of a phase or a set of related tasks. Both tasks and milestones play crucial roles in project management by providing clarity, structure, and tracking mechanisms to ensure successful project delivery.
