Breakdown of goals into deliverables, milestones and activities:
- A deliverable is a result of the project
- An activity defines a number of tasks
- A milestone defines a certain state (done, exectuted, etc.)
Milestones should be:
- Specific
- Measurable
- Assignable
- Realistic
- Time-framed
The five key points of using project milestones include the following:
- Define milestones early in the project and include them in the Gantt chart to provide a visual guide
- Keep milestones small and frequent
- The set of milestones must be all-encompassing
- Each milestone must be binary, meaning it is either complete or incomplete
- Carefully monitor the critical path
