Associate a milestone with an activity

You can record achieved milestones when an activity becomes pending or completed.

You can calculate or record an achieved milestone date either upon one activity being completed or another activity starting. For example, in a software project, a set of activities must either complete or become pending before you can achieve the Code Complete milestone. Recording milestones depends on activity configuration at design time.

Note All nodes can have completed milestones except the Decision and End nodes; these nodes can only have pending milestones.
  1. On the Extended Properties page of the activity, click the Advanced tab.
  2. Consume the milestones in the Milestone Available box to record the milestone when the activity becomes pending.
  3. Consume the milestones in the Milestone Completed box to record the milestone when the activity is completed.
  4. Click Save.
