What classifies as a milestone?

RE: Milestones

Hi Rachel,

Thanks for the question

Sometimes there are events external in your project that you may want to track. If you cannot link (establishing a connection between tasks. Linking tasks means a dependency between their start and finish dates) to them because they are not in a Project plan, you can create a milestone to represent them in your own project.

Hope that helps

Tracy

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.
