A project milestone is a significant event in the project which may signify the acceptance or
verification of completion of a project phase, task, decision, or deliverable. It is important to
note that milestones are not work activities but rather significant events during the project
which usually have a duration of zero. Milestones may be added to the project by the project
sponsor or by the project team through the planning phase of the project. While a summary of
project milestones should be included in the project charter and scope statement and WBS
Dictionary, it is helpful to include a stand-alone milestone list as part of the project plan
documentation.

The milestone list is a basic table of the milestone descriptions, planned completion dates,
whether they’re mandatory or optional milestones, and how the completion of the milestone
will be verified. This document provides an easy reference to all project stakeholders on what
milestones are included in the project and when they will occur. Like all project
documentation, any proposed changes must be subject to the project’s change management
process and communicated to all stakeholders. Since milestones are significant events and can
impact the project in many ways, changes often require approval from the project sponsor.
