Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
A milestone is simply a significant point or event in the project. It does not have to be assigned to a specific date, but is usually assigned to the completion of project phases. A milestone is the end of a stage that marks the completion of a work package or phase, typically marked by a high level event such as completion, endorsement or signing of a deliverable, document or a high level review meeting. In addition to signaling the completion of a key deliverable, a milestone may also signify an important decision or the derivation of a critical piece of information, which outlines or affects the future of a project. In this sense, a milestone not only signifies distance traveled (key stages in a project) but also indicates direction of travel since key decisions made at milestones may alter the route through the project plan. To create a milestone, enter 0 (zero) in the Duration field. The task will automatically be classified as a milestone.
Incorrect Answers:
B: A project goal is an objective for time, cost, scope, and other metrics.
C: This is a project constraint.
D: All activities must be completed in order to complete the project work. Activities that are not completed are quality issues that prevent the project from completing the project scope.
