Milestones are major points or events that occur on a capital project. Milestones will generally fall within a 'phase' (e.g. Design, Planning, Construction phases) and indicate a critical point of progress when achieved on a project. Milestones and Phases together provide a standardized 'Lifecycle' and a framework for monitoring, controlling and reporting on projects, programs and portfolios.
Note: The process of accurately identifying when milestones will be achieved in the future is often completed in critical path tools such as Microsoft Project or Primavera, which provide an input to the Lifecycle.
Common challenges we see in managing milestones include:
❌ No Standardization: Project and Project Owners dont know what key milestones matter for decision making across the portfolio.
❌ Gantt Charts Not Good: No key decision maker or stakeholder wants to sift throught a gantt chart to find key dates.
❌ Poor Reporting: Milestones are reported in a basic table without context.
❌ No Connection to Spend: Milestone achievement generally comes at a cost and rarely the two are presented together.
❌ No Portfolio View: Gantt charts impossible to aggregate or combine across projects, making a simple 'What's Next?' huge effort to discover.
💡 Simple & Easy To Understand: Key dates, slippage and 'what's next?' presented clearly and visually.
💡 Interactive Charts: Monitor and report milestone performance with out of the box charts and tables.
💡 Standardized: Easily create and apply a standardized lifecycle across project portfolios for consistent reporting.
