You are developing a project schedule and need to represent the completion of the 'Design Phase' without adding any duration to the timeline. Which of the following is the most appropriate way to include this in your project plan?
Mark it with a milestone indicating a significant point in the schedule
Add a task representing the completion with a minimal duration
Insert a delay period to signify the phase completion
Schedule a meeting with the team to discuss the phase outcome
The correct way to represent the completion of a phase without adding duration is by using a milestone, which is a zero-duration event that signifies a significant point or achievement in the project. Milestones help track progress without affecting the schedule's timeline. Adding a task with duration would incorrectly allocate time, inserting a delay does not signify completion, and scheduling a meeting is an action, not a representation in the schedule.
