Milestone Deliverable

A milestone typically marks the end of the phase/stage of a project and is a task of particular significance in the overall project delivery.

To add a milestone:

• Click the drop down, to open the following pane:

• Check the box “Has a Milestone Deliverable”.
• Select the “Deliverable” from the drop-down list
• Check the “At Risk” checkbox to set the milestone status to at risk.
• Check the “Key Milestone” checkbox, if the milestone deliverable is a key milestone.
• Enter the financial details: Cost, Payment Terms, Amount Paid.
• Enter the details into the “Detail” box.
• Click SAVE

Once a Milestone has been attached to a task, a blue diamond icon will appear in the Info column alongside the task on the Gantt and on the task in the WBS, clearly identifying the task is a Milestone task.

The milestone will then appear on the milestone widget on the project dashboard and the programme dashboard.

The milestone can also be viewed and reported on in the milestone Gantt at project, programme, and portfolio levels.
