- What is the difference between a deliverable and a milestone?
Deliverables are tangible or intangible objects produced as a result of the project that is intended to be delivered to a stakeholder (either internal or external). A deliverable could be a report, a document, a server upgrade or any other building block of an overall project.
Milestones are scheduled events signifying the completion of a deliverable or set of related deliverables. There is no work associated with a milestone; it is a flag in the work plan to signify some other work has completed.
A deliverable differs from a project milestone in that a milestone is a measurement of progress toward an output whereas the deliverable is the result of the process. For a typical project, a milestone might be the completion of a product design while the deliverable might be the technical diagram of the product.
