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:

  1. Define milestones early in the project and include them in the Gantt chart to provide a visual guide
  2. Keep milestones small and frequent
  3. The set of milestones must be all-encompassing
  4. Each milestone must be binary, meaning it is either complete or incomplete
  5. Carefully monitor the critical path
