Understanding Plan

A plan is constituted of a series of plan items. Each plan item has at least two milestones - START and END. Plan items may also have intermediate milestones that represent points of interest during execution of that plan item.

There are two types of milestone dependencies:

Point Dependency Time Dependency
dependency on release of a given milestone in another plan item in the plan dependency on a given date and time being exceeded
Note: Execution of a plan item stops at a milestone until that milestone has been released. A milestone with no dependencies is released immediately. However, a milestone with attached dependencies is only released once all the point and time dependencies are satisfied.
