Milestones

A Gantt milestone is a significant event in a project schedule represented by a marker on a Gantt chart. It indicates the completion of a major task or deliverable and serves as a visual representation of the project's progress.

Milestones typically have a specific deadline and represent key points in the project timeline. In ProScheduler WBS Gantt chart, milestones are usually depicted as diamonds with 1 day duration placed on the timeline to indicate the completion of a major task or objective.
