Add Milestones or Steps

Create milestones and steps for work packages to measure progress.

To add milestones or steps to a work package:

  1. Display the Project view, select a work package in the Spreadsheet pane, and select the Milestones/Steps tab.
  2. To add milestone, take one of the following actions:
    • In the Milestone/Step group on the Edit tab, click Milestone > Add Milestone.
      Note: You can add milestones only if the work package uses any of the progress techniques other than Steps and the Allow entering milestones regardless of Progress Technique option on the Preferences — Project tab of the Project Properties dialog box is selected. However, Cobra processes will ignore milestones added to a work package that has a progress technique other than Milestones. The milestones are for informational purposes only.
    • Right-click the Milestones/Steps grid and select Add Milestone on the shortcut menu.
  3. To add a step, take one of the following actions:
    • In the Milestone/Step group on the Edit tab, click Step.
    • Right-click the Milestones/Steps grid and select Step on the shortcut menu.
    Cobra adds a row to the Milestones/Steps grid. Use this row to add information required for a milestone or step, such as description, dates, and weight factor. You cannot modify information about a milestone or step if the work package has a status of Completed.
