RE: milestone

Hi Timothy

Thanks for your question.

To create a milestone:

1. On the View menu, click Gantt Chart.
2. Type 0 in the Duration field of the task you want to change.
3. Press ENTER.
When you enter a duration of zero for a task, Project displays the milestone symbol (a diamond shape) on the Gantt Chart on that day.

Ms project tip:

Keep constraining dates to a minimum

As far as possible avoid fixing the dates of your tasks. For example try to steer of clear dragging task bars in the Gantt chart to move them on the timeline or entering dates directly into the Start / Finish fields.

Date constraints such as these limit Microsoft Project's ability to automatically adjust your project whenever you add, remove or modify the duration of your tasks. Instead use the logic in your task dependencies that link your tasks to enable Project to calculate the start and finish dates for you.
