Milestone in a Gantt Chart

A milestone is simply a way to mark an important point in the project.  Examples could include:

  • Project Kick-Off

Benefits of Using Milestones in Your Projects

When creating your gantt chart, milestones provide a very easy way to see important dates at a glance.  This allows others who view your gantt chart to quickly see the big important dates.  It’s also a great feeling to complete the milestone and check it off when it’s complete!
