Question:
Does this information (WBS) allow you to define any milestones of the project?
Why or why not? What are they?
Answer:
I understand that the information provided in the textbook's table may not be very
detailed, but it still offers a starting point for planning milestones in our project. Initially, these
milestones might not have specific timelines, but it is the responsibility of the project manager,
with input from stakeholders, to assign dates to each task and milestone.
To grasp the project's milestones better, it is crucial to distinguish between tasks and
milestones. Milestones are significant phases or events in the project that help track progress
towards completion. Each milestone represents a significant achievement or deliverable within a
specific phase of the project. On the other hand, tasks are the specific actions or activities that
must be completed to reach a milestone or deliverable.
