Overview: For project managers and project team members, milestones mark points in a project, but project milestones don't measure distance. Instead, they highlight important events, such as the completion of a phase, a delivery of materials, or a payment for work performed. The familiar diamond shape of milestones in a Microsoft Office Project 2003 schedule makes events easy to spot, as illustrated in the following figure. You can use milestones to draw attention to significant events without worrying about delaying a project. Because milestones in Project are tasks that have zero duration, finish dates don't change regardless of how many milestones you use.
