A milestone marks a significant point or event in the project-such as the completion of a major phase-and therefore has zero duration. It does not require resources or effort; it simply records that a specific objective has been achieved on a particular date. Regular activities, by contrast, involve work that consumes time and resources and therefore have a defined duration.
