Milestone planning is one of the most vital aspects od a project planning since these milestones are the visible indicators of a project progress. Milestone marks critical decision points such as completing major project task and ending of various phases. Missing milestone is better than recalls and bad effects on the consumers. Setting up of reasonable time for the completion of the project deadline is an agreeable solution to this than facing problems with missing the milestone. Identifying the critical path would help the project from missing the milestone. Checking with the resources such as if team members are overloaded with another projects. Identifying if more team members are need in the project. Presenting project plan with a realistic estimated schedule and scheduling daily project status meeting will focus on completion of the near- term tasks. I don’t think missing the milestone should affect the future success because there will better planning for achieving the target.
