To add milestones in MS Project, go to the Gantt Chart view, select the task where you want to add a milestone, right-click on the task, and choose "Add Milestone." You can also change an existing task to a milestone by checking the "Mark Task as Milestone" box in the Task Information window. Milestones are important points in your project that signify a significant event or achievement.
To effectively write a milestone in a project plan, clearly define a significant achievement or event that marks progress towards project goals. Include a specific description, target date, and criteria for completion. Ensure the milestone is measurable, realistic, and aligns with project objectives.
