Milestone Review
Check whether a project should continue, adjust, pause, or close.
Project use
Use this at decision points where continuing automatically would hide risk or drift.
- Compare milestone evidence with the original plan, scope, and acceptance criteria.
- Review budget, schedule, risk, dependency, and stakeholder changes.
- Decide whether to continue, adjust, pause, split, or close.
- Record decision owner, rationale, and consequences.
- Update downstream plans and communication immediately.
Expected output
A project record that states the decision, owner, boundary, dependency, next checkpoint, and evidence needed to continue.
Common failure mode
Treating a date checkpoint as progress proof.
Use notes
| Best trigger | Use before a project decision becomes expensive to reverse. |
|---|---|
| Evidence | Keep enough context to explain the decision later without reconstructing conversations. |
| Review point | Review when scope, stakeholder expectation, timing, risk, or ownership changes. |
