Milestone

A milestone is a scheduled event signifying the completion of a major deliverable or a set of related deliverables (usually marking the end of a period). A milestone is an activity with zero duration and no effort that is, there is no work associated with a milestone. It is a flag in the workplan to signify some other work has completed.

Usually a milestone is used as a project checkpoint to validate how the project is progressing and revalidate work. Milestones are also used as high-level snapshots for management to validate the progress of the project. In many cases there is a decision to be made at a milestone.
