Specifying the Project Milestones
Between the scheduled start and end dates, intermediate milestones can be defined and associated with deliverables.
A project milestone defines an intermediate delivery step in the life cycle of the project life. A project deliverable can be associated with a project milestone if it is delivered during the project and on the project date.
Associating a project deliverable with a milestone does not affect automatic initialization of its life cycle; it can be subject to a manual modification if appropriate. Within the framework of project progress follow-up, you can define the level of progress for each milestone.
To add a milestone to a project:
1. Click the Projects > Projects navigation menu.
2. In the edit area, click the Projects tab.
3. Display all the projects.
4. Click the project in question to open its properties.
5. In the project properties window, click the Project Milestones page.
6. In the Milestones section, click New.
The window for creating a milestone appears.
7. Specify:
• The local name
• The scheduled date of the milestone
• A comment if required
8. Click OK.
