RE: Milestone

Hi Peter

A milestone is used to indicate a particular point in your project's life. To create a miletone in Project just add a task an set its duration to zero. Project redraws the the task on the Gantt chart as a black diamond plus its start date.

Milestones are useful to clearly indicate key dates in your project.

Hope this is helpful - contact us again if you have any further questions.

Thanks
Andrew

MS Project tip:

Keep constraining dates to a minimum

As far as possible avoid fixing the dates of your tasks. For example try to steer of clear dragging task bars in the Gantt chart to move them on the timeline or entering dates directly into the Start / Finish fields.

Date constraints such as these limit Microsoft Project's ability to automatically adjust your project whenever you add, remove or modify the duration of your tasks. Instead use the logic in your task dependencies that link your tasks to enable Project to calculate the start and finish dates for you.
