Definition
A milestone is a significant checkpoint in a project that marks the completion of a phase or a key deliverable, used to measure progress against the plan.
A milestone is a marker, not a task. It has no duration: it is a moment that signals something important has been reached, such as "design approved" or "beta launched." Milestones give a project a sense of progress and rhythm.
Milestones are useful for communication and control: they let stakeholders track high-level progress without following every task, and they are natural points to review, get sign-off, or adjust the plan.
Atlas lets teams set milestones on project timelines, so major checkpoints are visible alongside the tasks that lead up to them.
