Examples for a milestone list:

Milestone 1: Project Start
Milestone 2: Charter is signed
Milestone 3: Product demonstration and acceptance
Milestone 4: Customer training complete
Milestone 5: Project End

Mohammed,

You can find the answer to your question in the Glossary of the PMBOK Guide. Here is my explanation:

A Milestone is a "significant point or event in a project, program or portfolio". A Milestone is usually displayed on a project SCHEDULE.

An Objective on the other hand is "something toward which work is to be directed, a strategic position to be attained, a purpose to be achieved, a result to be obtained, a product to be produced or a service to be performed." Another word for objective is "Goal". An objective is usually included in the Project Charter.

Hello every body, Hi Our teacher

This is the first topic for me in the forum, Allow me to share you the success.


As subject I ask about:

What is the millstone exactly? What is the deference between millstone and project objective ?

I wait your replay as soon as possible.
