milestone schedule

A schedule format that lists key milestones and their target dates.

Key Points

  • Shows only major project milestones with planned dates, not detailed tasks or durations.
  • Used for high-level communication with sponsors and stakeholders to set expectations.
  • Provides a simple baseline to compare planned versus actual milestone completion.
  • Often displayed as a timeline or table and complements a detailed project schedule.

Example

A product launch plan includes a milestone schedule listing: "Design complete - Mar 10," "Regulatory approval - Apr 25," "Go-live - Jun 30." The team reports progress against these dates in steering committee meetings.
