While developing the project schedule for a website redesign, you identify the go-live date as a significant point in the timeline. To highlight this key moment without allocating time for work, how should you represent it in your project schedule?
Represent it as a milestone to mark the significant event without duration.
Represent it as a task with a specified duration to plan the work involved.
Exclude it from the schedule since it doesn't involve actual work.
Represent it as a summary activity that includes all preceding tasks.
A milestone is used to signify important events or achievements in a project timeline and typically has zero duration. Representing the go-live date as a milestone emphasizes its significance without adding any duration to the schedule. In contrast, tasks have durations and require resources to complete specific activities. Therefore, using a milestone in this scenario effectively marks the critical date without impacting the project's overall timeline.
