Milestone

Plan items are composed of a series of milestones, which represent critical points of execution. All plan items have start and end milestones. This is shown in the following diagram:

Plan Item Milestones


In this example, plan item EP_B1 has only start and end milestones. This represents the basic set of milestones that all plan items contain.

Milestones represent the critical points during execution of a plan item and represent the points where Orchestrator can control execution of the plan item. Milestones are points where dependencies might be attached to a plan item. Dependencies might be attached only to start and might not be attached to any other point on a plan item.
